I would leave it as is.

I'm in the buy a fabric that incorporates all the colors. I made a lot of butterfly blocks from scraps, then took them to the store to find something for a border. Nothing I would have picked at the beginning but was perfect for the finish.

I'd either go as it is or add plain borders in the cream and black so that you do t detract from your blocks

I would add borders. Either a cream and then a black or a flying geese (black on white) with another black border. You could do it just on the top and bottom if you don't need extra for the sides, but if you have enough fabric, I would probably do all four sides.

I'd stop right there and raffle it as a throw. It's beautiful the way it is.

Do you WANT to do more work on it? If so, add a cream and black border. If not, it's lovely as is!

It's so pretty the way it is, I wouldn't do anything to it, except possibly add a small white border and then a black border, but it looks great the way it us and people like to cuddle under lap quilts. I hope you do well at your church.

As you mentioned it is just short -- you could add a 4" row of piano keys of the black and cream (add colors if you have enough for that) to the top and bottom, then another 2 1/2" strip of the black sashing. That would add at least 12" to the length.

It's a really vibrant pattern with colors that really pop. My opinion is to leave it as is. But if you want to add a border, do you have enough leftover of each fabric to make a running rainbow stripe?

I'm thinking black border, then wider cream, then followed by maybe a 2-3" "racing stripe" of colors (end-to-end), then cream. Black binding. However, my gut tells me it wouldn't be AS good as a simple black binding on what you have finished. I think a piano key border in black and white might be too busy. Piano keys of all colors might be okay.
