Border Help
#1
Here I am again asking for your help with a border. Here are the blocks that I've done for a hunter's star (not sewn together yet) and have very little fabric left. Do I add a border or just leave it as is? If I do borders, what color?

I think it would look good either way. Personally, I prefer borders on mine. I'd do a narrow inner border and wider larger border. I would probably not use the color of the "star points" in the border though because it might take away from the center. Maybe the dark for inner border/binding and light for outer border. I usually lay them out and stare at them for awhile to see what jumps out at me. Border and binding colors are things I generally change my mind about at the end, so I rarely cut them out ahead of time.

The quilt is beautiful. I would use the light half of the
square for the inner border, 1 1/2 or 2 inches, and the
dark green for the outer border, maybe 4 to 6 inches.
I would do something that is just the finishing touch to
frame the blocks. Again, absolutely beautiful.

Besides it's fun to show off your work.
