    Wolph,
    I'd like to make a suggestion -- a dictum from my original quilting teacher, Mary Ellen Hopkins - It's Okay If You Sit On My Quilt...... "If *you* aren't doing the work then the* fabric* has to." (As in, if the piecing is very simple, use multiple, wonderful, interesting prints to "make" the quilt.)

    I'd find a large print fabric with these colors in it for the border.

    Pretty. Yes, I too think it needs a border. Just take your pick from all the lovely colors in the quilt. It will look wonderful when finished.

    Very pretty. Do a narrow border in the same white fabric that you used in the weave.
    If you have some batiks laying around, you can probably pick one with some of the same colors in it and border it with that, maybe something with a large stamped print in it. Pick another darker one to use as a binding

    You did a beautiful job. I agree it needs a border. Put one on and I'm sure you will love it..

    I know how uneven Bali Pops can be, but have never had any trouble with Jelly Rolls.

    I think it would look great with at least a dark colored narrow border, then you could make a wider border, either light or dark.
