    Definitely use a border. It's like putting a picture in a frame - makes it easier to appreciate the picture, which, in this case, is a delightful quilt!

    I think a border will just add to the quilt's beauty. Glad you decided to do a border. I love the fabric and colors you used.

    I think a small border would be nice. Your GD is a cutie!

    I think your quilt is ideal to go borderless! While some quilts call for a border, some look great without and I think this is one of them!

    I think the quilt could go with or without a border. I might add a very little one inch border to frame the quilt from one of the colors in the quilt and then a larger border from one of the other colors in the quilt.

    I agree with Kristen! If you could pull those colors together in a border fabric, it would be perfect, just like that little blonde bombshell!!!
    Whatever you decide, I love the quilt! :thumbup: :D

    Such a cute quilt for an even cuter girl. Border or no border, she's going to love it. Lots of memories will be made with that quilt.

    I think borders really finish a quilt off nicely.

    I think that a boarder usually tells the eye to stop. I vote one color border to make it look finished.
