Would you border this quilt?
Hi,
I am trying to decide whether to put a border on this quilt. I think a border may calm it down a little.
I know it's hard to tell, but this quilt is all done in various greens. The border I would put on would be about a 5 - 6 inch border of a dark green marbled fabric. This quilt right now is 84x84. Thanks for your opinion!
Oh by the way, the pattern is Strip Twist from Bonnie Hunter's website.

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.

Great looking quilt. I can see why you're having trouble decided whether or not to border it. I think it looks very modern the way it is. I can picture it with simply a dark binding. Bordering it would give it a more traditional look. I would choose colors that read as solids, whatever your choice. Very nice work.
