Would you border this quilt?

Gayle, what an absolutely stunning quilt. You fabric selection is great. The best thing is to try different suggestion and take a photo. Then choose what pleases you. I would suggest a 1 to 1.5 inch light fabric inside border to create breathing room between the outside border and the quilt. Then a darker green and matching binding for the outside border. LOVE IT !!

Gorgeous quilt. I think this quilt would definitely benefit from a border. I would be half tempted to double border. A strip the same size as what is in your quilt in a light then your dark green. But it is hard to say without first auditioning it. I love the colors in your quilt.

Boy this is a hard one. I agree that without a border it is very modern looking and absolutely gorgeous. That said, I do believe a dark green border would enhance your beautiful work and the colors. Don't think I'd go with two colors as it would detract from the beauty of the fantastic work you have done.
