IMHO I wouldn't put on borders.

This is terrific! Perhaps a blue border to finish it off~~

I've become a big fan of triple borders recently- mid size inner, narrow middle, wide outer border. If you want to bring out more blue from the quilt, I would go blue-white-blue. If you want more red, then blue-white-red. You could also do white-blue-red or white-red-blue, but I don't think either of those would pop as much as a narrow white between two darker values.

Just my .02, adjust for inflation.

Great job!

I think a narrow border of the tan or light blue and a wider one and binding in the dark blue. I think I like yours the best of all I've seen so far!

Awesome quilt. I don't think it needs borders. Beautiful as is!

I have the units finished and started the triangle blocks, but ran into a snag with the edges not being straight. Going to set Easy Street aside for a while and work on some UFO's. Like your color selections. Really shows off the geese.

I love your quilt - I am thinking the blue would really set it off.
