Beautiful Quilt! It looks finished to me - all it needs is quilting.

Maybe the green marbled looking fabric, in a 4 inch border....depending on how large the quilt is. It would repeat the green and be a nice contrast with the red and gray. I'd either do that or use the dark brown/black (?) print that you've used in the large squares.

Beautiful Quilt. I would just bind it. But if you have to put border, plain dark blue, but not navy blue.

I think a dark border is in order, and by the way, your quilt is gorgeous!

I think the Darker Blue would make a nice border and plain with just the Quilting to accent..

I, too, would use the dark blue. I think it would create a nice frame around the quilt and would allow the quilt blocks to pop. I believe I'd use the same dark blue for the binding. There's a lot of brightness and movement in the quilt top and dark blue would be a nice contrast.

I would just put a binding of the dark blue on the quilt,any other boarder would just take away from the quilt itself(like adding borders to make the quilt bigger but not enhance the look of the quilt).

I think it's perfect just the way it is...I wouldn't add a thing. Beautiful quilt, I'd love to buy a raffle ticket.
