The quilt is stunning. If it were mine, I would use two borders, a very narrow, white, not more than two inches around the quilt and add a wider navy blue. froggyintexas

I like it without another border. I think the dark blue acts like the border. It is really nice.

I like it the way it us, however, if you wanted to add a border, I would make it navy blue instead of black.

I like it without borders. With the blocks spilling over into the border it gives a feeling of motion to the quilt.

If it were my quilt (and a very pretty one at that), I would put a narrow border of light blue and then a wider border of black or navy blue.

I like it as is w/o the black border as you don't have very much - if any - black in the quilt. If you must enlarge it, go with a blue.
