Just binding for me. Great colors. Will be beautiful no matter which option you use.

I'm almost always happier with a border. And that one's a nice size - not t too big or too small. The border helps frame the work like art.

At first glance both are o.k. but second glance, vote for the binding. Just started doing only binding myself and took a while for me to get used to it but now I really like quilts with binding on them. Just saying.......

Beautiful. Wallhanging with just binding. Any size quilt with the border is my opinion.

I vote just binding. (But I'm not a huge fan of borders, anyway.) Lovely quilt!

I'm a fan of borders. They frame a quilt and set off the interior design.

I appreciate all the opinions. Looks like they are about split.

I decided to go with the borders. I seemed to picture it with the borders in my mind.

I'm doing a happy dance since I finished it yesterday. DH will get me a dowel this morning so I can hang it.

I had stopped by Ben Franklin yesterday to get just a bit more of the fabric I needed for the border, binding and backing. I couldn't find the blue batik for border and binding and was just about panicked that it was all sold. I showed the clerk the piece of fabric I had, and she walked over to the batiks and picked it right out! I was so relieved! I struggled a bit with finishing the binding and hanging loops because I was a little tired (got them upside down the first time), but so determined that I did finally finish it.

I'll try to post a picture once it's on the wall.
