I think that it is very lovely just the way it is

Orange? Never would have thought of that, but going to dig out some orange and audition! I'll let you know.

I don't think it calls for a border. Think it might detract from those really great lighthouses. Agree with Julie in NM, do a scrappy binding with left over fabric.

Looks great as is. If you need to enlarge it then you could add borders.

I love your lighthouses. Just leave it like it is.

Exactly my thoughts, or if not enough fabric, a striped binding cut on the bias would look funky too.

This is what I thought, too! :thumbup:
