I think all quilts need at least one border, to frame the center, like a picture frame. Maybe a dark fabric.

I would leave it as is, as long as it is large enough. Don't want anything to distract from the main quilt. She is going to love t.

I would add 2 borders - a 2 inch inner border and a playful print outer border of 4 to 6 inches. It will pull all your colors together. Also, rick rack is very big now and I think your beautiful granddaughter might like a little rick rack on her quilt too.

I love those colors. I prefer borders on quilts but you are the designer so whatever you decide is the right choice.

I'm a picture framer and it's the same concept as putting a mat around a picture. I think, especially with a bright and somewhat-busy quilt, that a border gives the eye a place to rest before coming into the POP of the center.

She's such a cutie! Yes I would put a border on it, perhaps pick up the green in the quilt.

Darling quilt! I love the colors. I'd go the extra mile and add a border. :thumbup:

I think just the binding is needed. It would help frame it too. Dani

I would do a thin black border, then bind it with strips from all of the colours used in the quilt.

I vote for adding a border. Hannah is very cute! :)
