I think adding one more tumbler in solid color for boarder is a great idea!

I usually add borders to make the quilt the size I want. So, I guess, it's really your choice. I would add a border on this one.

I can see a plain border with applique using all those fabrics.

What a great and unique idea! I'll have to remember that when I get to this pattern on my bucket list. I think the solid tumblers all around, and then a narrow pop of color for the binding following the angles would be stunning

There is a tutorial on this on MSQ and she puts a border on it but I forgot how she did it.

I think Tartan's idea of framing the scrappy tumblers with a a solid or coordinating small print tumbler border all the way around is great. Then bind the shaped edges in another contrasting color.

I think one solid border color would look great. Just me but I think darker would work. Like the darkest patterns if you have enough. Darker would make the colors pop!

I like it with borders. You may want to,add another row of tumblers all around the quilt. Great job.

Test it. Even if you don't have the perfect fabric for a border, if you have something close, lay it down under the quilt top, maybe just on 2 sides. Compare the sides with the border and without. Stand back, look from different angles, walk away for awhile and look at it again. Personally I like it as it is, but it has to be what you like.

It's up to you, for some reason I like it without, looks fine. Lots of god suggestions, let us know what you decide.
