I love the bento box design! I personally love this pattern without a border. But it would be beautiful with one, too! Beautiful quilt!

I would go with the black asian fabric or maybe a red for the borders. I really like this!! Great job!

Great looking quilt! I agree with everyone about adding a small border then a larger one. I am partial to borders- I think they really finish off a quilt nicely.

Beautiful! Yes, I would put a gold flange around it and a darker red border (a red that will match the red in the quilt of course) 4" in width ought to do it. It's is beautiful either way!

I like Joani2's suggestion (bottom of pg 1) or maybe a narrow black with a wider blue to match one of the blues in the quilt. Great job, beautiful quilt. Just seems to look a little unfinished without a border.

Im thinking a thin red asian print border followed by a wider gold (like gold in your quilt top) Red is in alot of asian designs anyway right??? this is really cool. dont forget to keep us posted. Thank you for sharing.[/quote]

I was thinking just the opposite--Gold thin border followed by wider red print. Those two colors are very popular asian colors. Your quilt is lovely.

Should I use a blender and another print? I do not have any of the fabric in the blocks, they were all fat quarters.
