Colorado Skies - borders/no borders?

Your quilt is beautiful! Love your color choices.
I'm not a particular fan of borders but think they can definitely enhance a quilt when used judiciously.
My personal preference is for a darker border as the primary one, with perhaps either a very dark or a light/bright as a narrow inner border.
For this one I would have the narrow inner border the bright gold then the widest border the purple and use the aqua for binding. (To me this more closely keeps the proportions color wise of he rest of the quilt).
Although it would also look good with the aqua as the wider border and the purple as binding.

I guess it would depend where the quilt lies on the bed... if it needs to be a bit bigger to hang over enough then I think a border is necessary. However, your quilt top is beautiful just the way it is so... if it is already plenty long/wide enough to hang over, you may not want to add a border.
Funny I posted that comment because I always put a border on my quilts.... but I love the look of yours with or without a border!
