    I like that green & cream strip I see in it, might look nice as borders too, & how about " Living Wild" for a name, lol... Nice work, post when you add the borders, okay!

    it looks great, but i think a border would tie it all together.

    My vote is with Nancy...the cream and green. Give the eye a place to rest before returning to the patterns. And you can use the brown as planned also! Let us see it when you are done! Nice work and good eye for color.

    Perhaps a thin border followed by a bigger one. :)

    I would add a border. It will bring the focus back to the quilt center.

    Yes, a border would finish this "Wild Delight".

    Thank you so much for everyone's input! I will definitely add a narrow inner & wider outer border. I'll check to see how much fabric I have left of each color to see what I can do. I'm mulling over which name I like best.
    A friend of mine owns a wolf dog (a bit of a challenge). If this quilt goes to her, I may ask for her input to decide. Or, my stepson who loves wolves too.
    I'll post a photo when it's finished.

    Definitely needs a border...maybe about a 4" one. Lots of color choices in your other fabrics...I can see a darker green or even maybe a gray. Play with it. You will be surprised to see what will look best!
