Default I need help with an ufo please

This is 40 x 58 right now, I guess i had planned on adding the black dot on the sides too
I am not liking the idea anymore... I feel it needs a border though,
What would you do to finish it? I want to donate for a fund raiser...
Thanks for your help

If you have some of the other black with larger dots, that would be cute. Or maybe a solid black with red binding.

I would go for a solid black also as a border and if you still have the scraps, a scrappy binding out of the fabrics.

I Gree with a black border--you do need it on the sides. I would do a red binding in the same red as outlining the cats. Cute!!!

I second cjsews' suggestion about seeing if you can get more of the print with the organic white dots on black. Otherwise, a solid black would be good.

I would just add the same that's on top and bottom to the sides and use red binding.

The border needs to be something that is not in the other 4 blocks then bind in the red as others have suggested. The border should be a solid color that ties the colors in other 4 blocks together. Get out your stash and play around with colors as the border. Very original!

I LOVE this quilt. I'd try for a double border, both solids with the inside being a soft lighter grey to harmonize with the white or light color I see and then the next being black. Just a delightful treatment.
