    That's totally up to you. I'd love to see a double border as well, using the pink fabric and the darker plum that's in the small squares. Make the inner border half the width of the outer border, so if your outer border is 4" wide, make the inner border 2".
    That way you can always trim it back if you think it's too much.
    "There are no quilt police" so go nuts!

    I vote for a border or borders. You have lots of color choices you could use for border! It is certainly a lovely quilt and beautiful colors.

    I'd do 2 borders: one accent (small), then a larger one to finish things off.

    I always add a border (even if it is small) to make it look finished - IMHO.

    To add border or not to add border - that is the question. Thanks!
