    YES!! Another one voting for borders. First a small and then a bit wider outer border would please my eye.

    I love the quilt. it is fab so far. I too would use at least two boarders. If it were me. I would lay out a couple of fabrics and play with widths and number of boarders till you have one that just screams to you. I like three boarders for some reason. Most of mine end up having three. a very thin 1-2 then a 2 1/2-3 1/2 then a 4 or larger. its like matting and framing a work of art.

    I agree, a border would add to the overall look of your quilt. Very nice work!
