Those are so cute, If you put a border on them, I would make it a small one.

I would put a small 2-3 inch border on it in the aqua or red then bind it in whichever one you didn't use for border. It is absolutely beautiful as is and a nice dark aqua binding will finish it. I guess I am no help I think either way you have a beautiful quilt :-)

I agree! A thin binding would be pretty.

I vote for a border. of course, I think everything needs a frame :-)

I agree with Jan, if it were me, I would put a darker border to make the colors in your quilt "pop"

I agree with Diane007 a thin border then one the width of the blocks. Both are beautiful. Love the fabric!

Beautiful quilt- the colors are perfect!! Let me know if you need any adopted nieces!! ;)

On the first quilt a narrow gray border than a little wider peach one. On the second the dark peach like that in the 3rd square on the right side of the quilt, than a blue border like a color in the quilt. Try laying colors next to them and see what you think. Let us know how it goes.

Jan took the words out of my brain before I got here. That is just about the same thing I would have said, had I not been tardy.

If you really don't want to add a border because you don't want to increase the size, then just bind it with perhaps a darker aqua, that would frame it.

I think it would be fine without a border since it's already a good size. Your binding will make a nice "frame" for it.

If you wanted to, add a small border, then bind it with the same fabric.

I think the quilt is great without a border.I used to put borders on all my quilts and now I realize that alot of times it takes away from the quilt itself.You hear alot of quilters say"I need to make the quilt larger so I'll add another border "and that is what you see an added border to made the quilt larger NOT to enhance the look.Let your quilt speak to you...

I think I'd use a grey inner border to mimic the center then an aqua outer border half the size of one of the outer blocks and bind with that same aqua. Nice quilts.

I think a thin white border just to frame it would be lovely.

Very pretty! And yes to a border!

I would put a narrow border on them, probably a darker one. Wouldn't add that much to the size. Then finish it up.
Beautiful colors on both.

If it was me, I would go with a peach and coral.... bind it in aqua.

Depends on how big you want it. I think this would look fine with just a binding, because the squares have the look of a large border for the panel. But either way would be pretty !

I would put a border on it. Maybe use the grey that borders the center block. That would pull it all together. Very pretty.

I would like a border on it also. I like borders on my quilts for the most part.

I like Jan's in VA ideas. Whichever way you go, you created some very nice quilts.

I'd put a small boarder to frame it.

Absolutely. It's a great quilt and when you get a darker border on it it will be even better.

I would border it. Maybe a darker salmon color or dark blue.

I'd add a thin border of a red, then a larger border in a darker aqua. JMHO~

I think a border with the orange and put a thin strip of aqua in the center of the orange.
I Think that would set it off perfectly.

I definitely think borders - peach on the first one and aqua on the second. Just MHO.

I'm a border type person and yes I would

IMHO . . . I agree with most of the others - a narrow border followed by a wider one. But..if that's not what you are feeling, what about a dark (Aqua maybe) binding that is just a tad bit wider than a 'normal' binding just to give it a frame?

I feel it does need a border....just LOVE the pattern and colors!!!

I agree with Dunster. Love them both! Gorgeous! Both look good as they are but if you want to put a border round them, a thin one would work too or just the binding on its own would be sufficient. I'll be watching to see what you decide. Best wishes. Thank you for sharing. :)

I agree with an aqua border. it will help make the aqua color pop!

It's pink??? It looks orange and aqua on here. I would like to see an aqua border.

I think just the binding would be enough "border" to act as a frame. I lean toward the same gray used to frame the center block. Borders would be good if you needed it larger, but since you don't, you can go "modern."

Why not a border like the one around the center?

They are both beautiful!
