Default 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.

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

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.
