This sounds good to me. Or the first thin border could be white. Your quilt is beautiful. :D

Very pretty! I agree too, a border in light color.

Gorgeous quilt! I agree a small dark border with a wider lighter border would finish it beautifully!

Now you have me thinking -- I was going to use it as a wall hanging.

I heard that the DH of a bridge playing buddy of my DH will be going for his first dialysis soon. It makes people very cold. So I think I will make it a lap/throw quilt for him

So I'm re-thinking layout

It's beautiful! I can see 2 borders....the first being the darkest blue you have in it and the 2nd a much larger border and in the blue that's next to the darkest. I do think it needs borders......
