IMHO it's perfect the way it s. I wouldn't add a border unless you want it to be bigger.

I'm surprised no one has said what the pattern is called yet. I think it is Warm Wishes, but I can't find my picture of that right now. Please correct me if I am wrong. This is a pattern that is on my bucket list. I have a whole set of large flower prints for the centers.

Guess I'm the oddball here, but I would bind it with black....because....the batiks are all framed with black and to bind with anything else, IMHO, would change the basic pattern. I'm sure whatever you decide, will work and I do hope you will share the finish with us....:)

Ditto that!

I like as is! It's beautiful and has a contemporary look and feel.

It has many names but the most common one is "Fractions" I love this pattern it is superb for highligjting special fabrics like the batiks.

IMO I think a piano key border with the batiks, if you have some odd bits left over then bind it with the black, just my opinion of course :)

This is one that I made recently using a Kaffe Fasset fabric.

WOW - 3 hours? Your machine must have been smoking at that speed. It's gorgeous. I'm not sure if you need a border or not, it's gorgeous just the way it is. Could you a adopt me if you have no one to give it to? Just kidding. Guess I need to get my batiks out and play.

Beautiful. I feel a border of one of the batiks with black binding would be nice. Or maybe a scrappy border - piano keys - using all or a lot of the batiks.

Lovely, I'd just do a scrappy batik binding.

Perhaps if you wanted it a bit bigger, then a border would be great. Either way, it will be a nice gift! :)
