At first glance both are o.k. but second glance, vote for the binding. Just started doing only binding myself and took a while for me to get used to it but now I really like quilts with binding on them. Just saying.......

I appreciate all the opinions. Looks like they are about split.
I decided to go with the borders. I seemed to picture it with the borders in my mind.
I'm doing a happy dance since I finished it yesterday. DH will get me a dowel this morning so I can hang it.
I had stopped by Ben Franklin yesterday to get just a bit more of the fabric I needed for the border, binding and backing. I couldn't find the blue batik for border and binding and was just about panicked that it was all sold. I showed the clerk the piece of fabric I had, and she walked over to the batiks and picked it right out! I was so relieved! I struggled a bit with finishing the binding and hanging loops because I was a little tired (got them upside down the first time), but so determined that I did finally finish it.
I'll try to post a picture once it's on the wall.
