I agree with others suggesting to bind it as is and let your wonderful colors work. If you need it to be larger, then I agree with the others suggesting the dark border. I am certain many tickets will be purchased for the chance to have this beauty.

I agree that adark plain border would be best.

thanks for all your suggestions since i had none of the fabric in the quilt left i decided to go with plain borders except for the corners and use batiks that would blend what do you think this made the quilt around 88x88

Wow this looks great but it looks finished to me. Other than a border to frame it I think your good to go

Exactly what I was going to say. Just bind it with that plain, dark blue fabric, and call it good. It all of the detail in this quilt - and I'm loving it! - my thoughts are that a plain border would look out of place. IMHO.

Gorgeous quilt top!

The quilt is beautiful, however I think the batiks are too grayed for the body of the quilt. I like rectangle quilts and like the suggestion of ??? adding a star block border to the top and bottom. just my $0.02

Your batiks are very pretty. The more I look at it the better I like it. I really like the dark blue and pink that KarenK showed. However, I am in love with contrasts. Now, I believe that one must see this quilt top in person (like in real life) to honestly make a good assessment. And, since you are designing this, I suggest you follow your instincts to make it totally yours. Just trust in your good judgement.

Very pretty quilt. It has a lot going on. I would add a simple plain border where the eye can rest.
Good luck with the raffle.
