    It's very cute, and I think a border or two would make it even better. If it's for a baby, maybe you will be able to base your decision on the colors of the nursery. If you don't know and don't want to ask, sometimes - not always - you can get a hint by googling the couple's name and "baby registry".

    I hope you'll post a picture when it's finished!

    Yes. I would add a wider border of one of the brighter colors.....maybe the pink or purple. Then possibly bind in the light pink.

    I have to agree with most, that the border would be better if it was a brighter color. But you have done a great job! how big do you need it to be?

    If the quilt is the size you want then how about binding it with one of the brighter colors in the quilt.

    I think a pink border would be awesome. I love your quilt and anything Hello Kitty is just too cute.

    My opinion is that border or not, that is a totally cute quilt!

    I would have put a floater white boarder first to make the sashing look complete then add a larger bright boarder ....maybe the same fabric as the kitty dress

    What about another border of the purple dot fabric that is under the yellow birds? Then a narrow darker pink?
