1. Which do you like better, the columns separated into 3 or put together?
I like it all as one quilt, no separation. I like being able to look at it and seeing how many different patterns i can see.

2. Does it need a border of white or a color?
I would take whatever the white/solid color is and add a 1-2 inch sashing to frame it out, and then you can add a border using a fabric from the helixes. You could even make another pieced border - piano key??? This is where google is my friend - i may google "borders" or "helix quilts" to see what others have done.

You can also just use a white the same width as the size of the hst block and then bind it.

3. would you move any of the blocks or change something?
No - i think it looks great - The yellow is the color i see first, and it's spread through out equi-distant. Looks great!!

3. What would you do for binding?
pick one of the fabrics from the quilt. I can visualize any of them, except maybe the yellow one. I like it in the quilt, but not as binding(just my opinion)

just thinking - i did a pieced binding from pieces in a quilt and it would look great, too. It's strip pieced, so it looks more complicated than it really is.
