    I think you need a border. It's a beautiful quilt top!

    I'd chose one of the mid to darker tones for an inner border and a lighter one for the outer border, then either the same as inner or another similar tone for binding. JMHO :)

    Lay out some fabrics and audition them. It helps to decide.
    I agree. Your compasses are beautiful and a border will frame them.

    I think it would look good with one or two borders. I LOVE your color choices. Beautiful!
