I see a lot of light lavender. Why not border with a pale solid lavender. And by the way, you have cut some KIND OF PERFECT SQUARES. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! I like it.

I don't think it needs a border. Pretty as is, really like it.

It looks great without a border! I'd probably just use a narrow binding in dark purple or dark green

Beautiful quilt. I would go for dark binding, no border.

I like it as is with a striped bias binding ... but if you need a border for size ... I would add a narrow white or cream border with a wider striped border with mitered corners.

I like borders--they seem to "stop" the pattern Though I'm not a yellow fan, I think a yellow border would look nice. Maybe choose one of the darker colors for a narrow border, then yellow outside of that?
