No border. I like the idea upthread of a black/white bias binding. If the binding is a strong color it will nicely frame the quilt. Very cute quilt.

I make a lot of comfort quilts for young people. I buy warm and natural by the bolt. I make my quilts so I can get 2 battings from one length. My quilts are about 43x63. Kids like this size for cuddle quilts. This would be the perfect center for a well used kids quilt if you add some borders. It fits nicely on the top of a twin size bed too. A child would use it for a long time.

Very pretty. I prefer a border.

I'd like to see a black and white zebra print. Depending on how bold it is you might only want a narrow border and then something else wider. Since I saw bunnies bears and giraffes I thought something else animal might be okay.

I'd like to see a border for this really cute quilt. Not real big, but as someone else said, I like a frame, too. Any of these color ideas would look good.

I think it might be a little wider so a border would work well or as other's have suggested a smaller inner border with a little larger border for the outer.I like what you have done so far, but I would widen it a bit....You can still use one width of fabric for the backing. I do it all the time for charity quilts!

I am a border girl...I would use green as a 'stopper' so your eye can rest...and the focus fabric if you have enough for an outer border. I tend to go bigger on 'baby' quilts as they don't stay little very long! Cute quilt no matter which way you decide!

I don't know why I didn't think of green! Good point about a bigger quilt. I think I'll take your advice.

Thanks! The focus fabric is leftover from the very first quilt I ever made. And I still think it's cute!
