Should I add borders?

I made 2 of these from my scraps and am not sure if they need borders or not. Right now they measure about 76 x 64.

Only if you want to add borders or need them bigger. Your top is pretty and I like how the stripped cornerstones pick up the block colours.

Great use of scraps. My 2 cents...no border - bind in the marvelous stripe.

I would put a black border then bind it in black.... otherwise it will be too much ....

Black binding only. Or.... black border and stripe (on the bias) binding. The scrappy blocks are beautiful!

Very nice quilt. I'm thinking binding only. Post when you finish the quilyt

I agree with Joy. A black border would look nice otherwise no border at all.

With that pattern I would not add a border, unless I needed it larger.
It will be beautiful.

I think it looks very nice just the way it is.

I really like your quilt. IMHO I don't think it needs a border. I like the striped blocks that bring the quilt together and the black sashing should be plenty. Nice job.
