I'm glad that you brought this dilemma up, as I'm going through the same thing. Personally, I've been drawn lately to quilts with no borders, so I say without. That's what I've decided for my own quilt too.

I would add a narrow 1" white border to stop the pattern before adding the bright border. Otherwise, I think the bright fabric overpowers your lovely plates.

I love the blocks and the sashing and I think the print border makes the QST get lost.

I like it without the border, but with a dark binding. That would give it a "clean" look. The added border looks too fussy, and detracts from the Dresden plates. IMHO.

I would add a border but using a different fabric. The darker color of the corner stones will frame the quilt, however, it too might overpower the lovely DP. Audition one of the pink on pink or the green from the centers along with the brown. Just be sure that YOU LIKE IT regardless of the consensus of the list.

I would choose another border as I think this one is too busy
