Those are so cute, If you put a border on them, I would make it a small one.

I would put a small 2-3 inch border on it in the aqua or red then bind it in whichever one you didn't use for border. It is absolutely beautiful as is and a nice dark aqua binding will finish it. I guess I am no help I think either way you have a beautiful quilt :-)

I agree! A thin binding would be pretty.

I vote for a border. of course, I think everything needs a frame :-)

I agree with Jan, if it were me, I would put a darker border to make the colors in your quilt "pop"

I agree with Diane007 a thin border then one the width of the blocks. Both are beautiful. Love the fabric!

On the first quilt a narrow gray border than a little wider peach one. On the second the dark peach like that in the 3rd square on the right side of the quilt, than a blue border like a color in the quilt. Try laying colors next to them and see what you think. Let us know how it goes.

Jan took the words out of my brain before I got here. That is just about the same thing I would have said, had I not been tardy.

If you really don't want to add a border because you don't want to increase the size, then just bind it with perhaps a darker aqua, that would frame it.
