I love your quilt top. Great colors.
I've done plenty of quilts without borders. Sometimesdone is done.
Just a tip-- for pieced quilts with no borders,it'sagood idea to stay stitch the outer edge of your quilt to hold the shape and keep the stitching from coming apart.

How do I buy fabric for a scrappy quit?
I'm still learnng but would love to hear your suggestions.

A layer cake is 40 10" squares, usually $32 or so. It's almost 3 yards of fabric.
A jelly roll is 40 2-1/2" strips, usually $32 or so. It's also almost 3 yards of fabric.
Fat quarters and fat eighths are just that, 1/4 or 1/8th of a yard.
All of these are great purchases if you're going to do a scrappy quilt. Plus, most of them are colorful and varied.

Your quilt is beautiful. Our sewing group just started on of those quilt for the church fun raiser. I love it. We got our free patter from Annies scrappy. The lay out is a little different.
We will be putting on a 2 inch border and then a 5 inch border.
