Awesome quilt!!! I would use the darkest color you have for a border :-D

a narrow light green next to the top, followed by the wider dark green around the outside would be outstanding I think, if you decided to put on borders, but is gorgeous just the way it is.

I like it with the green, then red border you shoe in the photos. It just tends to frame out everything else. Nice job!

It's a beautiful quilt. I think a green border would look good but it looks great as is.

Beautiful without borders!

Definitely borders. And I think I like the middle one. Is it a green? The top one blends too much with the rest of the quilt. Awesome job, btw.

Yes to both borders. As Ruby McKim would say, a strong quilt pattern is like the bull in the pasture: you want to have a fence; the stronger the bull; the stronger the border!

Borders... when i look at my quilts and have a hard time desiding it needs one or not.I picture it as if it was in a picture frame. I almost always put borders.

Your quilt is beautiful and I think a border will be a good finishing off.
