Love your quilt, it is beautiful!!! The colors are beautiful, I would use whatever your heart desires.
I love all the colors. The gold makes it pop & add another color, but I like all three. BEAUTIFUL!!!

This is what I was going to suggest as well. Just keep making blocks until you reach the size you want. Since you asked I wouldn't add borders. I think it would take away from your beautiful blocks. Love your colour choice.

Not much help here. That is a very lovely quilt, so whatever you do, will work. Let us see this when you decide.

Beauiful quilt. I love your colors. I always put borders on my quilts, I agree that it frames the centers like a piece of fine art. I think I'd prefer to see a darker color on the inside in a narrow border to set it off and then a wider border to finish it. JMHO :^)

Whichever color border you pick would be great, however I'd suggest to add a piping or skinny flange of the orangey-red next to the binding or between the body of the quilt and your border.

Like our beautiful state you have created a beautiful quilt. I'm in favor of borders because as one member said, it frames the work..." I'm a big fan of the two colors you have laying in your second photo. Picks up the color in the quilt without overpowering it, a perfect fit. You did an amazing job, be proud!

Gorgeous quilt, I'd be lost about the border as well.
