This is a doll quilt I just made. I hand quilt and I would like some suggestions on how to quilt it. Also do you think I should add a border.

I would add a border. Since you have all the seam lines going horizontal and vertical, I would just straight line quilt it with a diagonal grid.
OR, FMQ it with an allover pattern like a stiple.
Very cute!

I think borders would be good.
As for quilting, I would probably do something simple and classic, like a baptist fan -- use an old yogurt lid or mini-cd and trace gentle curves to follow.
Since it's a doll quilt and presumably won't have too much heavy wear and tear, you could get away with doing a tied or tacked approach too -- also a classic finish.

it's an adorable quilt. i wouldn't add a border, just a binding. my first thought was that it looks to be tied. the other day, someone posted that they 'tied' their quilt by using a fancy stitch[*] every few inches to 'tie' it.

I agree with those folks who suggested a border -- it will keep all of your seams intact. Then I would quilt miniature hearts in the center, and a lacy heart border around the outside border. Very cute! I did lots of these for my girls when they were young...
