    Yep, I would put a border on it. Audition several colors until you are happy with it.

    60 inch square is a good size, but borders really will really frame it nicely. Picking up the aqua or red/orange in a small border would really highlight already very pretty quilts.

    I think a border would bring everything together and give the quilt a finished look. A narrow border (1 in.) and a wider one perhaps 3 in. would be nice.

    I think a border would be a good idea, visually.

    I like borders and think they frame our work.

    Maybe an aqua or teal or a gray?

    i too would do a combination of a smaller more darkly shaded border followed by a wider border out of white patterned fabric. unless it's already the size you wnat, in which case I think it already looks great too!

    That is beautiful. Have the Quilter's Mag with the picture on the front cover that I keep starring at. I don't think it needs a border. Just my opinion.
