    Beautiful quilt. Unless you want it bigger, I would bind it just the way it is. It should make a lot of money for your guild.

    I like the red for the final border and binding. I, too, would like to buy some tickets.

    Very pretty so far! It looks square right now and I prefer rectangles for quilts so I would add a a row of the center red stars to the top and bottom. Then I would add a red order all around? It would also look nice with the square set on point and triangles added especially if you did intricate quilting in the triangles.

    My first thought - doesn't need another border. The one on it is beautiful as is.

    It really is a great top.

    I agree with Mck here, it doesn't need much.

    It is a beauty!

    Beautiful! I would bind at this point with a dark binding to frame it.
