I love your quilt top just the way it is, and without sashing. I think the colors blend perfectly. As for a border, I like the idea of something denim blue as in the color of the darker blue in the blocks. A second border from one of the fabrics in he quilt would be pretty too.iii

Can't wait to see what you decide on. Lovely quilt by the way.

Your quilt is amazing! I made a similar quilt using Christmas fabrics and put sashing between the blocks. I don't care for it too much, but too lazy to remove the sashing. The instructions say to use the remaining fabric to make the border. I do like my-ty's suggestion of using denim-like fabric, but for the border, then use a multi-color for the binding. It will be a striking finish.

vey nice. I agree with the idea of a small solid border to stop your eye and then a larger border. I like it as is, but it would also be nice with a sashing. You have really given yourself a lot of options! This is a quilt that I would consider who it is for and go with their favorite color. If you don't have anyone in mind, then go with your favorite. A yellow or red border is going to make a statement where as a blue or green is just going to frame it. Definitely audition fabrics for a couple days and see what one keeps drawing you back.

I would do white sashing, a white border, and multicolor binding using your remaining material.

Since you didn't use much of the red in the blocks, I find my eye wanting more of it, so I would border with the red. I would turn the blocks with the red on the outside so it is on an inside area so it doesn't run into the border.

Light or dark chambray would work kind of like bandana and denim...

What ever you use your quilt is beautiful Were the little pieces hard to sew together???
Keep quilting.

No, mainly because they weren't too little. I think the smallest is a triangle with to seven inch sides and one four inch side.

I love these blocks! Not sure about sashing....I'd have to audition some fabric to see. I kind of like them as they are, next to one another. As for borders, I'd go with a solid narrow inner border, maybe in that turquoise or yellow, and the red bandana print as the outer. But with these fabrics and choices, I don't think you can go wrong, whatever you decide to do. This is going to look great!
