It is gorgeous. If it were me I would put a border on it. I think it makes it look finished. Just my opinion. Your quilt your choice.

I love it and think 2 or 3 borders in different sizes would be nice

Thanks so much for all of your suggestions. Y'all are awesome! I do not have enough fabric for more blocks so I think I will go with the three borders, different sizes. Thanks again for your suggestions. I will repost after I have added the borders.

Beautiful. I love the colors love the pattern but really love the name, CO Skies!!! AHHHHHH OK enough, if you want it bigger I would add more rows. Honestly I think it will be wonderful anyway you do it I love the choices for borders. I guess I am no help.

I'd prefer this one without borders, but if you need it to be bigger I guess you have no choice.

I would make the yellow and aqua a little narrower and the purple a little wider with purple binding. I personally like a narrow border and then a wider border. Another idea is to reverse the order of the 3 border fabrics. Show us what you decide.

Beautiful quilt. I love the colors. The purple/blue triangles on the outside form sort of a border, so I think the quilt would look good as is, without a border. If you want to add a border, I think I would extend the purple/blue triangles by having a purple border, and maybe some other colors if you want the quilt to be bigger. To visualize it, try longer strips next to the quilt.
