I think the three colors would be great, but I would change the sizes of the strips. Like 1,3,5. Make each a little different size.

I would most definitely do a border keeping in mind to use a color that blends well in order to let the design stand out. Maybe a small inner with the gold and then larger outer border with the dark blue.

I would do a framing 1-2 inch border in the tourqois or yellow then a border in one of the other colors.

Thanks for your advice.

I'd use the purple in maybe a 4-6" border and bind the same color. Beautiful quilt
