    I was told once by a really good quilter the the border is like framing a picture. I love the quilt, great job!

    Darling quilt! I would add a red border- maybe 2" to 3" wide would set it off.

    One thing I absolutely love about quilting is that it is my quilt and I can do whatever I want. If you don't want a border, don't do it. If you do, then do it. I've changed many patterns and haven't regretted it yet.

    A green pine branch or pine cone border would be very cute. Or you could go just the opposite and do blue with snowflakes in it.

    I agree if you like it and the size is good for you, then leave it be! If you arn't sure, Put it up on a design wall or something with a border next to it (unsewn) to see if you would like it better. If you take a picture of it with and without a border, it may help with your decision.
    Good luck!

    What a beautiful quilt! It looks pretty the way it is. I would add a small white border to make the little snowman blocks stand out more and do a red binding. It's your quilt and whatever you do it's going to be cool! Pun intended :-P

    It looks very good as it is, but with a red border it would be magnificent.

    If you don't add a small border, you will cover up some of the pattern in your corner stones. Maybe would look a little off?? I think a small red border too. Cute quilt.
