I've been working on two almost identical baby quilts. The pattern is from Judy Martin's book, Scraps. (If you haven't heard of Judy Martin, take a look around her site. She is a fantastic designer, and her instructions are so carefully written that you cannot go wrong.)
Here is where I'm at so far:
Here's the photo from the book:
You'll notice that there is one more partial border to attach - the multicoloured one on the top and right. But, when I look at my quilt, I think I'm done. I'm kind of a symmetrical, orderly girl, and that extra partial border, to me, seems to put the quilt off-kilter. Also, it's already really quite big for a baby quilt - 45 inches wide.
Since I haven't got an artistic bone in my body, I thought I would put it out there. Should I add those extra borders, or leave them as is?

Hi Colleen--isn't it lovely? So good to get outside and dig in the earth!!
I love your baby quilt(s)..so bright and cheerful; I will take a peek at Jedy Martin's site--thanks--Have a great weekend....Julierose
It's gorgeous!I have been thinking what I would do....since you don't want it much bigger, how about not adding the scrappy borders and end it off with a scrappy binding. I'm with you, I would want it symmetrical.
That asymmetrical look would bother me so much! I would quit if I was you. It looks wonderful the way it and it's completely the same all over! If it's the size you like, I would say you're done!!
I think it looks good the way it is.
