    I agree with others suggesting to bind it as is and let your wonderful colors work. If you need it to be larger, then I agree with the others suggesting the dark border. I am certain many tickets will be purchased for the chance to have this beauty.

    thanks for all your suggestions since i had none of the fabric in the quilt left i decided to go with plain borders except for the corners and use batiks that would blend what do you think this made the quilt around 88x88

    Exactly what I was going to say. Just bind it with that plain, dark blue fabric, and call it good. It all of the detail in this quilt - and I'm loving it! - my thoughts are that a plain border would look out of place. IMHO.

    Gorgeous quilt top!

    The quilt is beautiful, however I think the batiks are too grayed for the body of the quilt. I like rectangle quilts and like the suggestion of ??? adding a star block border to the top and bottom. just my $0.02

    Your batiks are very pretty. The more I look at it the better I like it. I really like the dark blue and pink that KarenK showed. However, I am in love with contrasts. Now, I believe that one must see this quilt top in person (like in real life) to honestly make a good assessment. And, since you are designing this, I suggest you follow your instincts to make it totally yours. Just trust in your good judgement.

    Very pretty quilt. It has a lot going on. I would add a simple plain border where the eye can rest.
    Good luck with the raffle.
