Another vote for going border-free.

I agree that a border is a good idea - gives the eye a place to stop!
Great use of color in your quilt.

I love your quilt and the colors in it. My husband is an artist and has told me many times that every quilt needs some kind of a border to kinda stop the action - just like a picture needs a picture frame to stop the action, or stop the picture that is inside of it. It doesn't have to be real big, but just something to say the quilt design is finished. I think a dark green one would be gorgeous.

I agree with everyone. Yes a border. And I would say something with 2 different shades of green for the border.

Exactly what I was thinking!
