Default My Hunter's Star Top is Finished

At least I think it is. I ran out of fabric (and patience with the HSTs!) but I might buy a little more and add another row to make it square. I decided to make a lap quilt instead of a bed quilt. It's a gift for my sister's birthday which is coming up fast.

Question: Should I add a border? If so, what type?

I think you can click on the photo to see it larger.

A border would frame it and you could make it square with the borders.
love a hunters star in two colours great job.
borders would strengthen the edges if it will be a lap quilt.

Thank you! What color border do you think would look nice? Red or white or perhaps both?

Love the two colors. I've never made this pattern before but it is on my "quilt bucket list". haha

Beautiful top. I would definitely stick to the two colors. The choice would be yours: white skinny inner and red thicker outer or vice versa.

Thanks! I'm leaning towards the thin white inner border with a wide red outer border.

I would choose a white border which would make the quilt body appear to float and the use red for the binding.
