I loved the blocks that you posted yesterday, but the current incarnation is gorgeous. I agree that I'd put on a border, although it doesn't have to be very wide.

That came out terrific. Most of the quilts I make don't have borders. If you are going to sue it on the bed, Add them only if the quilt needs it. I wouldn't put one on the top.

I personally would add borders.

I agree that you could just do a binding, but I would add one more row at the top so you do not lose the top sashing. It might also make a more balanced feel with the bottom having the 2 'extra' rows. Love this idea of the ornaments tree!

Just beautiful! My vote is to leave it as is.

My vote would be red binding, with or without a cream border. Preferably without.

I wholeheartedly agree!

My vote would be red binding, with or without a cream border. Preferably without. Play around with both and let the decision make itself as you peek in on it several times a day. You'll know.

That is a really cool quilt. When I first looked at it I thought, "Oh snowballs". But no, they are framed and then sashed. I love all things Christmas and I would love to copy your quilt! What is your pattern?

At the very top of the top ball, I think I would add gold or silver as if it is being placed on the tree. Personally, I would put a border of green or brown on it. After all, it is a tree. Perhaps you want to hang it and this way it will look like a tree with the Christmas balls on it. Wonderful look! Let us know what you do.
