You took the pink put and added in the yellow. It looks fantabulous, even though, seeing it all, the pink would have worked too.
I'm with those who think one small white border would be good, same width as all the bricks.
Whatever quilting you do, I would err on the side of something rounded, although I've seen many people do SITD on quilts like this and they look great.
Feel proud! Good luck

Thanks, all.
The pattern was a PDF called "Color Me Crayons" and was simple to follow.
I'll have to see if I have any of the white left. I doubt I have enough of the colours left over to make a binding as they were all fat quarters.
I think you all are right and a swirly pattern would be best.

Great pattern, love the colors you chose. I would put a white sashing border all the way around the same width as the white in the quilt to "contain" the colors. Then I would piece the binding in the same colors if you have any left over. An all over puzzle piece stipple would look great. But then it's my favorite pattern for quilting. What's the name of the pattern, I think I have a jelly roll calling for this one.

I agree with TreasaA about the rounded quilting. Just got a very geometric quilt back from my log armer. I had chosen a medium sized soft curving scroll like pattern and the contrast is lovely. The curves softens the sharp angles and creates gentle "movement".

Is it to be a gift?
What is the age of the recipient?
Ask a few younger people whether they would like borders on modern quilts whose pictures you show them. (find some here: https://www.google.com/search?safe=a...56.TS2LBuXHWrE
Many modern quilts do not have borders, but many long-time quilters have eyes used to seeing borders; maybe we are not the ones to ask, hmmm?
