I would layer, quilt, and bind it with the black fabric -- then I would call it "finished".

It's turning out great! Sometimes we just need to change our focus and let things flow. Seems I am always starting with what I think is a good idea, only to find I don't like it and change things around; usually for the better. Just a touch of yellow in a border would look great!

I never bind in a contrasting color since it calls attention to my bad binding skills....so I was thinking maybe bind in one of the soft blue prints.

I love what you did with your triangles.....it looks like it was planned that way from the beginning. As for another border, it depends on how big you want it to be. It looks good the way it is, has a finished look with the wider border. But if you need bigger, add another....but it will need to be at least as wide as the outer border there now. But let me tell you again, what you have done is great, so creative!

It looks great. I too would bind it in yellow.

Looks great the way it is to me:) Any number of choices for the binding would work, I think. I started a stack 'n' whack several years ago using your butterfly fabric. Love every single block! Must get back to it for finishing one of these days!

Love the butterflies-I made a quilt for my supervisor that everyone called the butterfly lady cause she wore butterfly pins on her shoulder every day.I quilted butterflies of different sizes all over the quilt. She loved it. Yours is great=just needs a binding.
