I think the three colors would be great, but I would change the sizes of the strips. Like 1,3,5. Make each a little different size.

I would most definitely do a border keeping in mind to use a color that blends well in order to let the design stand out. Maybe a small inner with the gold and then larger outer border with the dark blue.

I would do a framing 1-2 inch border in the tourqois or yellow then a border in one of the other colors.

Good morning my QB friends. Hope you are all doing well this morning. I need help deciding whether to add borders to my Colorado Skies quilt. The pattern did not call for borders, just binding, but I would like to make the quilt a little larger without, but don't want to take anything away from the look of the quilt. Thanks for your advice.

I'd use the purple in maybe a 4-6" border and bind the same color. Beautiful quilt

If it was my quilt I would like a skinny gold then a wide purple. Just my humble opinion. ;-)
