What do you think? Borders or no? Thanks for your opinion.

love the quilt but hard to make the border call without seeing it in its entirety.

I like it. I have not seen DWR with triangular corner bits. I like the effect.

I'd go with a solid border (or 2 or 3) to help give the eye a place to rest from all those beautiful busy prints.

I agree. Need to see entire. But you do have a dark blue. Maybe go with that.

It is beautiful! I always like to add borders. They just seem to top the quilt off. But to help you decide....is it the size you want or does it need to be larger? That can make the decision easier

Thank you, for the complements and suggestions. I will post another picture when I have the top sewn together. I don't have much floor space to show it entirely. The pattern is Metro Rings by Sew kind of wonderful. Its about as close to a double wedding ring as I am going to get. Ha ha!
I had considered the darker blue for a binding, but it might be a good border.
Thanks! Gina

I usually always like a border, frames it.
