I too love this quilt....I'd go for two borders - maybe solid black followed by a wider border with maybe a lighter tone, then bind in black or a multicolour binding using black and other scraps from the main quilt. Please post when you're done....It's a beauty now, but finished it will be stunning.

I like the black dots and think it would be great as an inner border on the sides too; however if you're not happy with it, then remove the top and bottom borders and start over with other fabrics to frame this darling little quilt. Someone is going to love getting this... ♥

I'd remove the black dot fabric on each end. Add a wider strip of solid black, then go with the dots. You could bind it in red or black. It's a fun quilt. Hope you enjoy finishing it up.

The upper right quadrant seems too light as compared to the other three quadrants to me.
Maybe use a darker color around the cat in the upper right corner to give it some "weight"? Yes, I do know that would involve some unsewing - but I think it would give the piece a better balance.
Love the cats.

Remove the dotted border strips first. Then I'd go with a narrow black, then a wider soft cream... make it look like it was matted for mounting in a frame. Maybe even use a wood grain print for the binding! Treat it like the art it is. Lovely quilt. *grin*
