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.

A twin size batting is 72 X 90. That may influence your decision.

I say do a black border or a white border and the bind with the stripe fabric.

I think they look great as they are-just add the binding Love the colors

Either way it's beautiful! My personal opinion though would be to just bind it as is in black so the striped squares will pop. Can't wait to see it finished!!!

I'm going to be different, IMHO, if it was mine. I probably would border with a 1 inch black, then add a 2nd border with a bright color. My binding would probably be black or one of the other bright colors in the quilt.
