I was thinking a non-pieced border of a solid color would look nice, too! Beautiful top. I am planning to do one, also. How many jelly rolls did you use?

It is so pretty, love the colors

It is too small to be used on a bed. It really needs borders.

What size did it work out to?
And how much would you like it to grow?

I didn't measure it. It just covers the top of a double bed mattress. I want to add borders to make it useful on a double bed. I was thinking about adding a lime green 1 1/2 inch around. Then a rust 3 inch around. Finally a 5 inch purple around. That would add 19 inches to the entire quilt.
