Totally agree!!!

Let the binding (the deep orange?) frame it up, as a border would, and keep the eye focusing to the inner squares, and in particular your centre medallion.

NIcely done!

I agree with dunster! I'd use the aqua/blue reads solid in the second quilt that matches the little birds as a binding on both of them. Love that fabric and the idea of using the center block/panel with simple squares around it. So pretty!

While I might be inclined to add a border to the top quilt, the second one looks very modern to me. Therefore I would bypass borders and skip right to the binding.

Borders aren't necessary. How about a contrasting flange between the quilt and the binding?

A border would frame it and show off the pretty patches!

Totally agree!! I think a solid color binding in almost any of the colors in the quilt will frame it nicely. I'm kind of seeing the grey used as the inner border as the binding, but at the same time one of the brighter colors make it all pop.
