Great job on selection different fabrics in each block. I would add a border to complete it. I just finished quilt that had a lot of different colors in each block. I picked two colors that were dominate in the quilt. It made it look compete.

Unless you really like the idea of a border, I would leave it as is. The blue sashing acts as a kind of border by itself. I think the quilt looks great as it is!!

When in doubt, leave it out.

I like the idea of using all of the colors in the quilt to make a piano key border, then put on the dark blue fabric as binding.
If you choose to keep it without a border, it is totally a complete quilt....I just like things to be a little bit more embellished. Be sure to tell us what you decide to do.
