Either way would suit me, I know, no help there. Lovely quilt, either way.

The quilt is lovely. Like many others, I would use a narrow inner border, add the pieced border and bind it with one of the darker prints in the quilt. Whatever you decide, the quilt will be gorgeous. froggyintexas

Add the border as shown. Bind it with one of the fabrics... Aqua or purple. Great job in picking your colors.
This quilt is beautiful.

I'm one of the ones who think differently. I think without the border gives it a much more modern look that I really like.

I'm not fond of that border. It seems too light to me. I would go with something a little darker. Pretty quilt.

Thanks for the replies, I did add the border and am now quilting, once my second job doing the actual quilting on my teeny dsm. Seem straight lines should't be this hard

Will post a pic when done. Fabrics from JoAnns new "Made in the USA" line. They are acceptable but not wonderful feeling fabrics. Hoping they soften up!
