I agree; keep it as is.

I would add the red bining and call it finished. It is beautiful, great work.

I've always wanted to do a star quilt...perhaps next year. This one is absolutely gorgeous! I would think that a dark blue at the edge would kind of restrict the expansion of the colors, while the yellow at the edge leads the eye to keep going, if that makes any sense. The red binding would add that little zip without "containing" the design. Gorgeous work!

Listen to your instincts. It sounds like they are telling you that you like it as it is. I like it as it is, too.

I would just bind it. That will serve as your last border, so I would pick my binding fabric carefully. I love the quilt.

Looks great the way it is, but, a red type binding would tie the center to the edge. Just my opinion, but that's what I see. Lovely work!

Looks wonderful just the way it is!
A red binding would finish it off nicely!

If you have enough of that dark blue used in the first border around the main motif, I would use that. I really think you need something dark to highlight the yellow, but don't think you need another pieced border. The quilt is gorgeous!!!!

Perfect...Just bind it....Very precise piecing. Your work is beautiful.

I think that the red binding will be enough to "stop" your eye at the edge. Very pretty!!
