Very nice. I love all the colors. I don't think it's too bright though. I also think a dark border would really finish it off. Good job!

Any suggestions? yes - no????

I think it is great and not too bright. Did you do any planning in selecting your strips, like alternating lights and darks or did you just go for it? It turned out great. I agree with a simple dark border would be great.

If you DO make a border, yes, use a solid - NO PRINT! Isn't that pattern called Chinese Coins? Nice job!

I love the quilt just the way it is. I would just bind it. I also like kso's idea. (for the next one!)
