I agree with the others. Enter your quilt & be proud of yourself. Take a picture of it on display so you can frame it for your sewing space. Think of it as your blue ribbon everytime you look at it.

I totally agree that borders picture frame a quilt. I’m seeing a narrow ( 1/2”) red border then maybe a 2 1/2” of a darker color. Bind it with that same dark border. Good luck n whatever you decide.
