    Love it as is. I would only add border if you want it larger.

    Copy the border around the medallion. the quilt can benefit from both black and orange.

    Nhweaver your statement says it all you auditioned the dark blue binding & you like that look the best-and I agree with you- go for it! Your DD will love it- but we all know it will be claimed by the fur babies!

    Orange border would tie into the center border.

    AGHHH! What a quilt! Love all the bright happy colors. I vote for an orange border if you go that way with it. Also peeking out from under the cat scratch quilt is the perfect color for a border. That light turquoise watery blue. Fabulous.
    Love this quillt!
    peace

    I'm sure it will be nice either way but I'd probably add a border to give the eyes a nice resting place. It is a very busy quilt and I think also it would give the quilt balance, as you do have some borders in the middle of the quilt.
