    I think blue would be great.

    I could see a dark mottled red or a dark mottled blue. I think one of those would keep it with the warm, fun feeling I'm getting from your braids. I think black would be too stark and wouldn't compliment the braids as much. JMHO

    Why put strips. I like it just the way it is.

    I might leave it without the strips. I think it looks stunning as is, with them braiding into each other. You could do piano keys or something as a big border around the whole thing

    I love the look you've created and would sew these borders together....if you put a strip between each, the quilt will look "stripey" whereas now they blend so well. Then, why don't you do something different along the edges? I don't know what, but I'm certain someone on this board can help.They all seem so knowledgeable.

    This is really nice! I love the look of all the braiding. I would sew all the braiding together so the braiding is the main focus and put a nice border around it to frame it out for the top of the bed (maybe with some appliquing) and then so something different from the top down. Here's my thought. I see that's its already the length, have you thought about cutting it down to fit as a top and use the remainder for matching shams and pillows on the bed? Would be stunning.

    It needs to fit a queen size bed. This bed is a double. It took me 3 days to do 4 strips. Maybe I should just keep going and make it all strips. Not like I don't have the scraps!
