    Beautiful quilt. I would have said add a border, until I saw thimblebug's quilt. It looks great with just binding. So... if you need the quilt to be bigger, add a border. If not, leave it off and use a darker binding. Either way it will be wonderful.

    Very pretty. I would put some kind of darker border on it.

    This is a great pattern - looks so good. I agree with a darker border.

    At first I thought YES to the border, but then I saw thimblebugs photo, and decided I like it better without the border. But it is strictly your preference. If you want to make it bigger, add the border. If the size is ok, do what you want to do, either way will look great.

    This is going to make a great quilt and I agree with Bevanger, a dark brown border would suit it well.
