Borders and Bordering on Obsession

I can't decide if this is it for this quilt top or if it deserves some borders....
I pieced this simple top some time ago but just can't decide if it's done...arghh..


I keep coming back to thinking it would look really nice with an inner border, a thin pieced border, and an outer border...then I circle back to it's cute small and simple like this...
the top is made from charm packs of Sugar Pop by Liz Scott

what's a girl to do??

maybe I'll set it aside and let the to add or not to add decision marinate a little longer...
and
turn my attention to this stack of fabrics...



a rather large stack of various DS Quilts fabrics...and sadly this is not all of them...

or maybe these should be next??



yep...more gorgeous fabric by Ms. Schmidt I've been hoarding...these being a few Greenfield Hill prints I pulled out (ignore the lone Love print at the bottom)...

and i'll tell you I should probably make a few quilts out of these stacks...so I can make room for when Flea Market Fancy Legacy collection comes out this spring...

I...Can...Not...Wait...

you see I got into quilting after the original FMF was released and I have always loved FMF and Katie Jump Rope...
my biggest fabric hoarding misstep was passing up a Katie Jump Rope 1/8 yd bundle of the full line at a quilt show...I didn't realize that when I came back 2 minutes later it would be gone...

I can't tell you how many times I've kicked myself for that...did I mention it was also at a great price...no crazy markup like you see from time to time on these lines...
sigh...oh well...
okay..so I'm a little obsessed with Denise Schmidt Fabrics
