    I think it depends on the size you're after. Solid binding/border but yes solid.

    Thanks for all your responses!! I think I will wait til the end of the month when we find out what gender we are having then do a border in a solid color!! Unless of course I find an awesome primary color that would work!! I can't wait for my daughter to see it next month!!

    Love it, and I too vote for a solid border to make all those alphabet blocks pop

    I'm making my granddaughter a quilt with that panel also, yours is a completely different approach than mine- yours is adorable and will look great either way. If you want width go with a border, if you don't need one you could definitely bind it as you have it. Great job!!

    I think I would go for the border.

    I think it needs a frame. You could use a thin solid color border, or a solid color binding, or you can do both. If you do both, I would probably use the same color for each.

    You could go either way, but I think I would just bind it.
