Oh my! It's lovely just as it is but if you want to put a border on it then I would suggest a 2"wide black border to ancor it all. It really is pretty.

Much like all have said: I would do three borders - the first a black - medium width - the second a scrap of stings - very skinny - then a final border of wide black. Of course it depends on the final size you want.

It is gorgeous....so vivid and alive! I did a crazy quilt top with all those bright colors...I used a dark printed 3" finished border all around, then a 1 1/2" wide x 6" finish border of many of the colors in the quilt blocks and am going to finish it with the same dark print binding.

Your quilt blocks are gorgeous! I prefer the solid black but whatever you do, it will be great!

I would use a black border and on the binding use all the colors used. Sew all the fabrics together in strips and then cut at 45 degrees at whatever width you like your binding to be. Beautiful quilt!

I would use black.

I think a black border so it does not take away from the quilt

I don't think it needs a border--it's absolutely gorgeous as is, and a border might just be distracting.

Great Quilt! How about using prairie points using the beautiful colors in your quilt.

It's going to very bright and beautiful. I would stick with a solid color for the border. Just my opinion.
