I love the teals and black. I'd just stitch around the outside edges, clip and wash. It's beautiful.

I increased the size of a rag quilt by making 6x18 inch rag rectangles and sewed them around the edges....made a really nice framing effect.

Nice quilt. If you use a border stitched to the back side, you can clip it to increase the size of the ragged area. Or, if you like the size, you could just use a wider than usual binding. Fun project.

I don’t think it needs a border, just a black binding.

Very Pretty!! & it looks like a very cozy quilt to cuddle with!!
I would add a black edging whether it be a border and binding (depending if you want it larger) or just binding.
Great job!!
