Default Stained glass quilt

Do I need another border on the quilt? The pattern calls for another 3” border, but I don’t know if it is really needed.

It's fabulous just like it is! Unless, of course, you want to make it a larger size....

it sure doesn't "need" it. so you just have to determine if you "want" it. its looks great the way it is!

Either way - if you can't decide, lay the final border fabric on carpet and then lay the flimsy as is on as if the border was on - i.e. with 3 inches showing along side and bottom... then decide if you like it better one way or the other.. I do that a lot.

I love it the way it is! Your fabric choice looks like real glass. It looks more like an actual window without the border.

I like it as is. If you do decide you want another border, something that reinforces the stained glass look would be awesome. I found these two pics that I think could really add to your quilt.

Lovely top and only add a border if you need it larger.

It looks good as is, but if you need it bigger, add a border

I like it as it is. It looks very modern. If you add borders, I think you may lose some of that modern look. If it is big enough, then you are done!
