white border and then your fav. color as a finish border.

Oh please tell me you made this for ME!! It's absolutely wonderful...love the bright colors, bandana prints, and everything about it. I usually like Civil War material, but this just perks me up this morning!!

Your quilt is a wonderful curved log cabin. It is just perfect in every way. I think I would add a narrow white border and then a red or blue binding. That would frame and enclose your beautiful quilt but provide that needed rest stop for the eye without being a distraction from the beautiful pieced work. I'm sure you know that the viewer's question is to wonder how you got the curved effect. We want to see the end product.

A small border in white would look fine. If it was mine I wouldn't add any border. Beautiful as it is. Love your colors.

I am no help....like all the ideas, if it was mine would just audition the fabrics and choose the method I liked the best. Just wanted to say, I love your quilt!!!

White, then bind in a bright colour, or a mixture.( sew the scraps together ).

When I looked at your quilt, I immediately imagined it with a narrow white "eye-stopper" followed by a piano-key border using all the colors in the quilt. This is definitely a masterpiece!!

My thoughts also.

Looks like the verdict is in for small white border so I'll say a 2 1/2" white border so as to not take away from the gorgeous top by the time you add your backing to it....

You could also use a narrow white border and then finish with a narrow blue border. Beautiful quilt, by the way.
