    You could add a solid border and use what you wanted to as a border to make matching pillows or pillow cases

    My son said (15)I should cut the strip into blocks and take the blocks (10x10)and like a rail fence, one up and one on its side... If I could find a border out of the fabric.... pile that would read a solid this would work.

    I'm thinking not quilting... yet!

    I liked it without a border, too. And if I added a border, it would be all solid- one fabric in an fat width (greater than 4 inches).

    I like the borders. It lends itself to the scrappy look and is a a little different than the borders we typically see.

    That looks Springy. I think a brite pink thin border would look nice, then add on some more of your other strips around it.

    Its do-able, but how about a green border, or just 3-4 inches of one material used int eh quilt?

    I think it would make a better border if there were a solid color (say in a med to dark blue) inner border, then the strips. Love the quilt.
