    I love it the way it is but if you want it bigger a boarder will not hurt , it is so cute. I love your boarder.

    I agree with those that say a dark binding (a widish one - 3/8 to 1/2 inch wide) would finish it off perfectly.

    I would add a 2" border of each of the primary colors in the on point squares. Maybe 4-5 different colors. Of course it would make it larger but it would make the quilt pop some more.

    Super cute. Your border is perfect with the panel. What a happy accident.

    I agree, just add a bright border. I would use red.

    Cute quilt and I don't really think it needs a border.

    I love it the way it is. Just chose a matching color for the binding to add a little color at the edge.

    Here it is finished with no added border. I should have added a small white border because some of the points were chopped off when adding the binding. Hopefully, I'll remember to do that next time I have a similar situation.
