What a gorgeous quilt! I love it! Just beautiful!

i like MarthaT's suggestion regarding borders. Tiny yellow border first, then the wider purple. I would then bind it in the turquoise.

I would add borders to that lovely quilt in whatever color you like best, or use all 3! Have fun.

I love the quilt, and would probably add a purple border, but any way at all would look great.

I think it would look very nice with some borders. Also the ones that you have picked will set it off well.

Your quilt is gorgeous - what lovely batiks. Personally, I would put a narrow yellow border with a larger purple border to finish it off and make it bigger. Not all quilts need borders, however, I think a border would add so much to this quilt, to frame it.

beautiful, I would add a dark blue or black border would make the quilt pop and not draw you to the lighter and brighter border.. Love those batiks and such a nice pattern Great work, thanks for sharing

I would put borders on. I like the way they frame a quilt, and they also create the drop that keeps the quilt on the bed

it looks like the edges of your quilt have created it's own border. it is beautiful.
