Wow!! I've never seen that pattern. It's lovely in scraps. I think it easily stands as is and would also look nice with a solid border. You can't make a wrong decision. It's beautiful.

Instead of a border, how about a dark solid binding? I think very dark forest green or black. Maybe make the border a bit wider than you normally would, and get two birds with one stone...I mean binding?

I think it's got enough going on that it stands on it's own without a border. Great quilt!

I really like it the way it is but a border would be nice too. Guess you would have to audition some fabrics & see what you think.

I think a solid boarder would be nice. I am so glad to see this pattern. CJsmoma did a tutorial on this (arrowhead) I really liked it. she cut hers down in center. I'm doing as you are in making a baby quilt in pink and white. Going shopping Sat. for a third color. At least I have a idea of what the quilt will look like (nice) Thank you for sharing.

I definitely agree, a solid will balance all that color really well
