    I would put a border on it but if you like it the way it is go for it. It's beautiful either way. Thanks for sharing.

    It's your quilt, you can finish it any way you want, no quilt (or pattern) police here. If you do add a border, a red would be nice.

    I love your snowman quilt! I'm like you, I would not want to put a border on it. Red binding would be great.

    I wouldn't really put a big border. Maybe just 1-1 1/2" just to pop your quilt should do. It looks beautiful

    The pattern calls for a red border with a green binding. I'm thinking about just adding the green binding with no border.

    I agree with most others, it's yours do as you wish. Myself I would put a red boarde, and then the green binding would really be a nice addition
    My 2 cents

    I think a narrow red border or simply a red binding would set it off nicely. I think a 6" border might be too much, personally, but as it was already put...no quilt police around here. :-)
