    I love the quilt. I think incorporating all the colors will wash out all your work but a binding in one of the colors would be very nice.

    Well done. I think you need to decide what you may use it for and therefore if you need it bigger or not. It will be great either way and beautiful work by your buddies and you.

    It's beautiful. It looks great without a border. Maybe just a dark binding, it would look really nice. :)

    Just love the details you've used--the reversed pinwheels, the tiny corner flowers placed over the seamline, the carefully placed but random feeling falling leaves. The movement in the quilt suggests "Windblown" as a name, or Autumn Breezes, Winds of Autumn, or even Wind Power for an ecological bent.

    A dark edge would frame and finish your artwork, either as a binding or as a medium width border with perhaps a bias-pieced scraps binding.

    You have done very good work here.

    I think it's a toss up between a narrow dark border and no border, just a dark binding.
