I took all your advice and finished this quilt without borders. I tied it to a backing of a textured fleece and brought the back to the front for a simple and easy binding. And because I'm cleaning up my sewing room, I gifted this to a friend already and now it graces his couch. It's 30 degrees celsius here today, and not cooling off overnight, but in not too many months, it will be 30 degrees below and this little beauty, made entirely of scraps, will keep my friend warm.
Here's a closeup of the patterned fleece and the ties. It's nice to get this done, and to empty my bin of bricks (these measure 2.5 by 4.5).

Love the colors and the ties remind me of the quilt under which I slept in my youth; my grandma had made it and it too was tied with little pink threads. Unable to place the quilt into any frame of reference, I didn't appreciate it-I do remember sleeping with it until it literally fell apart and my mom graciously removed it one day while I was at school, replaced it with a store-bought, mass-produced comforter.
I have never forgotten those ties; thank you for the memories.

It's wonderful; I love how the dark and light contrasts work through all the different colours.
