Fly away quilt top

I got this pattern & quilt kit at a cute little shop in northern Idaho on my vacation it says you can put 2 boarders on it but the kit did not come with boarder material, I am not to sure if it needs boarders what do you think it measures at 59x75 now. It went together very quickly

Great job on this! Love the pattern. Borders only if you'd like.

I would put a double border, small one of the white, then the larger of one of the colors of the geese.

i would say that it does not necessarily need borders. the binding will 'hold the pattern in' if you know what i mean. it looks great just like that.

I would put borders or one...only on the long sides to make it a little wider.

I suppose it comes down to what you will be using it for. If it is going to be a throw/lap quilt, I would say it is fine. It is a bit narrow to use on a single bed, so I would add borders for that, perhaps only on the sides or wider on the sides than on the top and bottom.
