    Very striking! It looks great as is, or perhaps add a black border-? It would make a lovely throw......

    This is beautiful. I would add a black binding and call it good. I think it would make a great lap quilt.

    I think it is lovely. A black border around with scraps (if you have any of the inside colors) would be a nice finish. I don't worry about size anymore- as far as I'm concerned, there are no rules of right or wrong with size. This would make a wonderful cuddle up and read, watch TV, etc. quilt. Do what makes YOU happy!!!!

    I was thinking along the lines of Tartan but my thought was to remove a row, add the borders and binding, but to make a table runner of the row removed. You can consider that if you think putting another row on the bottom of the quilt would make it too long compared to it's width.

    This is lovely. I have one fq bundle of this style fabric and haven't decided what to do with it. I don't feel I have enough to do a complete quilt but I am not sure what to add. I am now thinking solid black is a great idea. I can't wait to see your finished project.

    What a beautiful, striking quilt - I would add a black border just to frame it.

    It's gorgeous. I think binding it in black would make it zing!
