    Perhaps a small border in a solid black...

    I would add a two or three inch border in white...I think black or the poppy red would make it too bold...white would like GailG mentioned allow it to float without being too bold...beautiful quilt

    I think I would have it float on white with a white binding.

    I like the above idea the best. White border for sure to float it. Maybe a dark binding...whatever the dark color is in the poppy squares.

    NO, only if you want to make it larger and then I would think the black would set off the poppies nicely. Is that BQ??

    I vote for black about the same width as the narrow blue.

    I think I'd use a two or three inch white border and bind it in the blue.

    I think it is very pretty without the border. Agree - I like the idea of red around the edge - perhaps as your binding.

    Cheers, K
