I like your pictures, the cat scrap fever will look best without a border, it is a couch throw, is large enough.When i laid out the borders, it took away from the panel. thank you all for your input. Orange or blue will be the binding.

Here's an example of my scrappy quilt. Borders would have taken away from the pattern that was already created.

This one, made for my sister, is the closest to wild colors as you have in your quilt. It could be done with or without a border. However, it was never going to be on a wall and adding the border for a quilt always on the bed wasn't necessary.

Some quilts just don't look finished without a border. This one was originally going to only have that red as binding. It just didn't look right despite the fact that it would only be on a bed. So I made it a double border and was much happier with it.
