    1. Your blocks are beautiful!! what a great look! 2. Remember on a wall hanging, the border acts as a frame or mat for the work. You may just want to play around with it on the wall or on your design wall to see which way you like it better. In general, a border would give it the more traditional look; the borderless, the more contemporary look. (Either would be totally rad with these blocks!!)

    I would border it. I find that bordering it would frame it and give it a completed look.

    I'm not sure I would add borders - just bind in the ecru. Very striking quilt!

    Stunning quilt. I would not add a border. I think it would take away the effect this quilt has. I would quilt it and add a binding from the ecru color.
