I love your quilt!! Love the bright, cheerful feel of it. I’d prob’ly add the light solid color down the left side and across the bottom and bind it with a bright solid. And let it tell it’s own cheerful tale ;0) !

Another beauty! Imho its a very modern looking quilt, I would just bi d and enjoy, no border necessary, love it!

I agree. A thin non-fancy border would be a nice finishing touch.

Great quilt Watson! I would not use a border but use a scrappy multicolored binding. You are so lucky your mistake was on the last corner. Good job.

Watson, I love that top!
I don't think it needs a border. Maybe just a fun binding.

Beautiful quilt! I would add a white border either on 2 sides or 4 sides. Not sure if I would bind in white, black, one color, or scrappy.

I'm joining the chorus for a narrow white border. As a personal opinion. quilts without borders look unfinished.

And I'm OCD enough that I'd fix that corner. Last week I did just that -- ripped out and fixed a corner turned 90 degrees. Why that didn't get fixed earlier I have no idea, but it would have been a lot easier if it hadn't already been basted for quilting!

No border! I love the modern look to this quilt! Maybe even go with a facing or at least white binding.

If you are happy with the size, I think I would skip the border. This quilt reminds me of birds in flight, and it seems a shame to “cage them in.”

You know you don't have to put your borders on all 4 sides. A border of white around the whole quilt to separate the quilt center from the pieced border. Then a pieced border (like the narrow piecing of the blocks), but this border only on the top and bottom. After that another narrow white border on the top and bottom to separate the pieced border from a strong colored binding.
