I think it needs a border; maybe two or three. I really like a wide border of print that is cut and separated with another color. As in: one inch of the print, one inch of another plain, maybe black, and then three or so inches of the same print as the first one inch.

I would border it for no other reason than your binding will cut into the current edge. You could do colors and you could do a couple from the top. I would probably only do a simple black and do black binding. I would like to have the edge but not take the eye away from the wonderful top.

I think a thin inner border of the purple you have in one of your blocks and then a wider border of black. I always like a small inner border and then a wider border as I feel it frames your quilt. Love your beautiful quilt.

I agree that it calls for a border. If it were me, I would at least audition the lime green in your middle block in the 2nd row, then a black binding. I think that color would go well with most of your blocks.
