    What a beautiful quilt! A border would be nice to set it off.

    I would use a solid brown for the border would finish the quilt nicely.

    I would use the green as a border. I like how it would frame the quilt.

    You did a fantastic job on your Strip Twist quilt, it's beautiful. I think you're on the right track with a dark green marbled fabric, but I might audition to see if I would want a small inner border, then the larger dark green border.

    really lovely strip quilt, love the colors, and have to admit i would be happy with just binding to proudly display the quilt as is ... but your decision of course

    Yes, i would put a border on it. It needs a place to rest the eyes.
