Beautiful quilt. What about a pieced border with stars?

agrees with Bj

You could easily add borders. First a small 2" white, then 3" yellow, 4" orange, last 5" green. Would keep the focus on all the piecing you have done.

That sounds good bj - I should have done it like your avatar - adding another round to the star. /thanks

Ditto, use all of the colors you have in the quilt as border colors.
