Now, do you think it need a border?
What color are you wanting to bring out of the quilt? I always audition colors first before I actually make a decision. Same goes for how big I want the border/s.
I learned long ago after I bought all the fabric for the quilt including the borders that after I got the top done I didn't like the borders. So now I do the top and then I choose the border after the top is complete.
