Adding Borders
I've finished the centre of my log cabin quilt, but still undecided about whether to add a border.
At approx 54x66 (I made a mistake with a row of logs and had to juggle the blocks) it is plenty big enough already for the guest bed and for me to manage with quilting. Would the borders finish it, or do you think it would look nice with binding as is?

So kind. Thank you so much. Sorry I didn't reply straight away, I was measuring and procrastinating and then deciding.
I'm going with no borders and agree, humbird, I'll bind it with the darker fabric as I just have enough of it with a couple of inches to spare if I have a 2 1/2 inch. Using the lighter brown and piecing it with a small amount I have left of the Crimson with flowers and the cream with bears, I will have enough for the backing without having to buy any other fabric. YAY!
Now, I just have to get to grips with FM (I'm not there yet) or it's back to SITD or cross-hatching again. Thank you.
