I can't decide if this is done or not. It was a mini round robin with a couple of my bestest quilt buddies. Was thinking a border of 2" blocks using the colored fabrics from the quilt. OR do I just call it done and add a binding using the colored fabrics? I need a name for too.....my daughter usually hits it right on the mark with a name, but we are all coming up blank on this one. Thanks for your help :-D

I would put a border on with one of the colors thats in the quilt. Love it!

That is a gorgeous quilt and will look entirely finished if you bind it now. I would base the decision on whether you want the quilt to be larger, rather than on whether it needs a border.

Can't help with a name though.

Ditto. It looks perfect and ready to be quilted unless you want it bigger.

Beautiful-I'd call it done.

I wouldn't border it either...

Reminds me of leaves blowing in a fall wind... "Winds of Time"?

Really pretty. Just bind it. Autumn Breeze.

If you need it bigger, I would add a 5" border of the same color as the background that could have some beautiful feathering and then the dark binding. This would "float the design". It is lovely and I agree with "autumn breezes".
