This quilt top really is straight but I guess it is not pinned on the wall very well.
I love this pattern. Would you mind sharing the name of it. I have some fabric that would look wonderful in this pattern. Also, I love the wide flower border in the last picture.

Border, it brings it all together. Or I just think it looks prettier that way!

I usually add borders but it depends on your needs. Is it big enough now? Perhaps a small border with a different colour binding? Whatever you select will be beautiful.

I would add the border, it just gives it that "Finished" look (but that's just me). You have done such a nice job and the fabrics you picked look so good together. Thank you for sharing.

I like this idea too. The thin green would really set it off

A border would make a big difference. I agree with the small green one also, if you want to go for that, it would make it stand out.................

Love your fabric choices. Yes, I would do a border, maybe even two. Green narrow border then the floral pink as a wider border.
