Lovely. I like the idea of a dark border only to make the light colors within the quilt stand out more.
I really like this quilt of yours!

Agree, agree, agree, lay out some colors and, depending on the final size you want, then decide width of border. It's a stunning piece of work

Love it!
How about a pieced boarder? Small sq and strip, then flop flop, strip and small sq. Stack them up. Same size as the strips and small squares you have already. Larger squares in the corners.
Looks like you have some of it cut already!

That is gorgeous! Did you take the pattern and do your own color thing, or did the pattern suggest that idea?

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!

What a pretty blue quilt! I would do a narrow white border and then a wider blue and it looks like to me any blue out of the quilt would be quite nice!!

It's an awesome quilt. You did a wonderful job with layout and colors. Love it!!!

I can see it with a narrow first border in the lightest blue, then a wide one in a darker blue (maybe not the darkest, but close.)

I ablsolutely love your quilt! Blue is my favorite color, so I know I'm being partial, but I am really, really attracted to it! I think it wants to come and live with me! It would look nice with the dark blue binding. You can just send it to me and I'll finish it, Michelle!!!
