I think quilters are way too hung up on borders these days. I like your quilt just the way it is.

I agree completely!

Love your colors, Mike! I'm a border person and like a very narrow stop border with a wider border, then narrow dark binding.

I think that I would try the opposite with a thin light border and a dark outer border. Guess I would have to audition it. It is a great quilt with or without borders.

I think is the way I would go. Maybe even the dark border could be squares the size of the HSTs or a little smaller.

I'm not a border fan, however, I would put one on this quilt because the light HST in the bottom left corner makes it look like there is a piece missing from the top.

Yes, I agree with light inner and dark outer! Great way to show your fabrics! Its very nice.

If I liked the size, I would just bind it with a dark color

I like the bright colorful quilt top......my opinion is that I think it's big enough for a lap quilt and should only have a colorful binding added......a color that is in the quilt top.........

I'm a border person for this quilt. Lots going on in the quilt, so a border might give your eyes a place to rest.

I agree. I love this quilt! Honestly, I thinking borders would detract from these beautifully placed, vivid colored HSTs. I think I would use a thin black binding, only. No matter what you decide, it will be great!
