    I notice everyone seems to agree on the white inner border, but sorry, I must disagree. My opinion - I feel the white will get lost in the big white squares and looked srooked in spots -- try something dark, dark brown or black, and narrow - about 1" finished width, then add the piano keys or whatever you choose, about 3".

    Judy, I had thought of the white going into the white blocks. Hmmm, what to do. :roll:

    The majority of the blocks are red/burg. so I would frame it first with inner border of that color and then piano key border or something similar. I just love this pattern and yours looks great!! :!: ;-) :lol: :D 8-) :roll:

    I would like a black border. Just a narrow one. It would frame the quilt. Then a piano key border would be pretty.

    Nothing needed. BUt if you want something, stop it with a dark colored border and then anything else in a larger border that might work. Audition some of your fabrics with it.

    Beautiful quilt by the way. I see a lot of brown in that one so you might consier that color for inner border or even the outter.
