I would add a white border the width of the sashing all around and then bind in the red of the cornerstones.

I love this quilt but think a border will add a frame that will enclose it and hold it in/together. Try the same print as the squares, or experiment holding up many fabrics to it and see what speaks to you

It's a very pretty quilt. I think either a binding or border would take up the same amount of your corner stones and sashing which would be the seam allowance anyway.

I think you did a great job of piecing. Just don't start sewing a strip on for borders. You can easily change the length when sewing that far. Measure then pin the half and quarter points on both the border and the quilt then match the pins. Pin baste in between as a few places then stitch. It's good to check and make sure both sides (top and bottom) are the same length or close to it before sewing also.

If you measure the cornerstone blocks and sashing on the outside edge and compare to inner pieces, you will see that they are wider to allow for 1/4" seam of binding or another border. You are good to go, adding either a border or binding. Cute quilt!

Second quilt?? Wow, you did great. Your stepdaughter will love it.

I agree with the white border and red binding. Very nice quilt indeed!!!!!
