I don't think it needs a border but....
If you do go there I would suggest using a thin strip of the solid gold fabric and then a wider strip of the plaid or the dotted material if you have any of that.

yeah i like Dragonfly's idea a thin gold and then the plaid.. a real knockout.

Ohhh...I love both fabrics! I really love the 2nd one (plaid) and it still looks cutsie! The little kitty cat fabrics are just to die for! Gorgeous. Both fabrics are lovely but I prefer the second and then the 1st for binding. Love your quilt! :-D

I like the plaid, but before I saw your choices, I was thinking that something darker would look nice, like a narrow dark brown and then a rust to pick up the colour in the kitties.

How thin a strip?? Maybe 2 1/2 or 3 inches??
I think that could work. (and would use up my lefteover fabric :D )

I like the plaid and the plain for binding also.
