I think I would add an outer border in one of the slightly darker colors just to frame it. Not a real wide border, maybe a 4".

Beautiful quilt, but I think it needs a little more, maybe a narrow strip of one of the colors and then a larger border.

wow, look at the quilt show postings, the fourth one down has lots of different blocks with skinny sashings and small dark corner stones. Should look great with your blocks done that way., for the link- http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t232347.html

I would add another border - a little darker color. Like the quilt.

I was thinking the same thing. I like it as it is -- just needs some contrast with the binding. Maybe the same color as the "hello kitty" at the bottom ... which seems to be a deep purple.

If you don't want to undo any work, i would add a wide dark pink border. It needs some bold color to set off the work. Great job. It's gonna make someone very happy.

Have loved Hello Kitty over 40 years. Go ahead and give her a bright border. She is such a cute little flirt and she loves bright!

sorry, I meant to post my link in another posting.

That's a darling quilt! I too would add another boarder with one of the colors in the quilt.

Lovely quilt. Agree with many stating another border of a bright color would help things pop.
