    Beautiful blocks! Borders do for quilts what matting and framing does for pictures. I like the sashing color for an inner border, and something with good contrast for a wider border. I'd audition a few and see what you like.

    The darker border would add emphasis to the wonderful work you've done. It is beautiful!

    Thanks everyone for your ideas and input. I think I'm gonna go with an inner border that matches the sashing with an out border of sawtooth or piano keys in the leftover from the crowns.

    A border will add much more to an already beautiful quilt.
