If you want a beautiful quilt, go with no border. If you want a truly magnificent quilt, go with the border you have auditioned in your second picture!!

Border for sure is my vote!

Both nice, but my vote goes to using borders.

I'm like others in that the quilt has lovely colors that looks so nice in a modern way-but, something dramatic missing. The added purple border added that dramatic touch. I really think the border makes the quilt's footprint dramatic! I do like the borderless modern quilts-but not this time. Looking forward to seeing the finish.

It is beautiful...border for me!

Adding a border makes all the other colors "Pop". I vote to add the border.

That border is just perfect.

When I saw the first picture I said no border but when I saw the second one I said yes!!! It's gorgeous either way though.

definitely with the border. makes the quilt pop. really nice

I like the border!
