Thank you all for you input! I think I will do some boarders to make it fit a twin, I really had no plan when making the quilt I just wanted to try something new and these flying geese were new to me and I never had bought a kit before.

I really like your quilt: the colors, the design, the visual impact -- all are stunning. In my opinion, a work of art deserves a frame. Even a small white frame will give a viewer's eye a place to stop and make it focus on the center. I've learned, however, that a personal choice is always the best one. If you like a border, put one (or two) or two on. If you don't care for borders, leave them off. Either way, it's a beautiful quilt.

I am a big fan of these modern, no border type quilts. Having said that, I almost always add borders because I never seem to think the quilt is big enough, thereby making it more traditional.
As an answer to your question - this is such a personal choice. Modern = no borders. Traditional = borders. And, is it big enough? You have an oversize lap right now. Do you need or want a lap, or do you need a twin? Borders will up the size.
Let us know what you decide to do.
