Please tell me if you think that I should borders on this quilt. It's suppose to be an Asian theme, hope you can see the prints.
Should I use a blender and another print? I do not have any of the fabric in the blocks, they were all fat quarters.

Personally, I would add a border. Maybe a thin 1 1/2" border in a black. Then a wider border, maybe 4 1/2" in a nice pretty Asian print. Bind darker than your print.

I would consider pulling out the bright blue or the very light green. JMHO

I love the pattern and colors of your quilt. It's beautiful. I think it needs a border.

I vote for the border. A narrow 1" border and then a wider one.

I think a border would be in order for this one...maybe a narrow black border then a wider one picking out a colour from the prints...then bind in black. Let us know what you end up doing....lovely colours and design.
