    I think a black border would really be nice. It would really frame the bright, beautiful colors in the quilt!

    Looks wonderful.
    I would add a border to it of black.

    This is nice to know - maybe make a not on the pattern to add one more roll at the bottom.

    Thanks all for your wonderful ideas.
    It is now done and "sealed".

    I like the idea of a square quilt for this, because of the symmetry of it, it is reminiscent of Chinese lattice windows
    It is 77 inch square. I will use it as a wall hanging or a throw or a quilt for a petite lady. I'm sure it will do fine.

    I've depleted my last bit of Kona espresso cotton. So I cannot bind it until I get my hands on some.
    You know, I can't just drive down to Joann's! LOL...

    Thanks again. You guys are wonderful!

    I agree with the black border and feel that someone will love this quilt.

    I love the brightness of it. It would work on a twin size or over the back of the couch for watching TV.

    What a beauty.

    I agree with framing it out with a 5 inch border and 7 inch top and bottom border and bind in black too..love Kona cotton to keep color and works very well. Good luck

    It's very pretty colors a black border would probably finish it off and also it would be a nice size to throw over a chair and it's pretty. Sue

    I love the colors! A black border would do well to solve your dilema.

    I love the quilt and the fabric. You could always donate it to a charity to be auctioned off as a fund raiser...or you could just send it to me.
