I like it best with the border but see the little gap between the border & the quilt on the right side (where the wall shows through)? Just at first glance I thought you had a strip of fabric there. I think it would be pretty with a very narrow border (say about a 3/4") & then the final border & then the binding. I think I would make the binding and the very narrow border the same fabric.

I agree. It's a lovely quilt well done.

I like the border. I also saw the floor showing through and though it was a narrow strip to set off the blocks before adding the border. That would look good too. Sweet baby quilt. Go for what makes you feel good. I find that my first instincts are usually the best ones.

I really like your border. I would go with it!

Yes, count me as one of the people who almost always choose a border. Your quilt is beautiful. Someone will treasure it for years!

At a quick look I thought there were two boarders. (The floor showing through would be the narrow one.) Would look great with two boarders with the narrower one being high contrast.

Me too! I agree

I almost always put at least one border on my quilts. I just think it frames the quilt nicely and shows off the center better, gives it a finished look.
Your quilt, you can do as you please.
Beautiful quilt and colors.

Beautiful either way....I also want to see it when finished!
