I would leave it as it is and bind it in the sashing fabric.

Beautiful contemporary quilt using a traditional block. LOVE IT!

It is quite beautiful!!!

If it were me, I would either leave it as is since it is really pretty and probably doesn't need a border - orrrrrr... I'd make a row of white fabric then a row of the white squares alternating with a square of the center colors you uses then a row of white if that makes any sense.

I think it's pretty though and probably doesn't need a border unless you really really think it is missing something.

I like it just the way it is. Unless you need another border to make it larger, I'd finish it off where it is. Beautiful work.

I agree, as is it looks very nice.

I agree with these 2. I would quilt it and let the sashing be the binding. :lol: :lol:
