I think of your dark colors would look nice.

Why does it need a border? I love it just the way it is......any one of the fabrics would make a nice binding. Love your quilt!

Gorgeous quilt! Love the color combination!

I would audition 2 plain borders. First, a narrow one in a color not in the outer edge. Try yellow, turquoise or coral here.

For the second, I would try a wider border in one of the reds or the dark blue/black??? One of the combinations will please you more than the others.

If it's large enough, I think it would look complete with just a binding added to it.

I really like it.

I think one of the darker colors would be good to make everything pop. But just like that. You got a lot of creative work going on. Any more than that might take away and be too much for the eyes. Love it!

Bind with dark blue would be my first thought.

I like it the way it is. I would probably bind it in red. If you really want a border, I would make a narrow one in red, and still bind it in red. This is a very nice quilt!

I think it looks complete as it is. You said you wanted it bigger so here's my thoughts. Continue the dark square at the corners another time. Then make a border of the light peach and dark teal
