    If you choose to make a border, I like the middle green one.

    I vote borders, it will look more finished with a solid color edge. It's a gorgeous quilt!!

    I'd say definitely a border. It's a beautiful quilt.

    Hi what a great quilt I like the dark green best, that might just bring it together enough, so yea or nay on the last border. I do like my borders though.
    i went back to look again, do the last border also really brings it together nicely.

    I love it. I think it needs another border to stop it.

    I think no borders is the prettiest. If I had to choose a color for the border, it would be the center one.

    Beautiful quilt! I would like a border of the same green that you used for your triangles, and then the next border in a darker red.

    It doesn't have to have a border, but if you decide to go with one, I like the middle one. Beautiful quilt!

    I love it.
    Small green border would seem to finish it off for me.
    You do beautiful work.

    I think borders really "Frame" a quilt out as a finished piece of art that it truly is.

    I like the middle green and I would have to agree with others..I have not made many quilts but everytime I complete the border it really does frame it nicely..Good luck and beautiful job!

    Thank you all. If I put any borders on it I believe it will be one of the greens. A small border or just use green for the binding.
