    I can see why your stumped. I think it is beautiful as it is. The quilt is so dramatic you don't want anything taking that away. Good Luck choosing.

    this is a beautiful quilt. Any of the bright colors in the quilt would work wonderfully but I agree you should bind it in black. You could just finish it the way it is, it is so beautiful.

    tuesy, I like crafty bear's idea at the bottom of page 1, but instead of iron on's, I think I would find a copy of a reel and film like that and get some of the photo fabric that you can run through your computer printer. I would scatter that throughout you quilt border. You wouldn't have to make them very large and could probably get several onto one sheet of photo paper. I think that would really add to the rest of the quiltand continue the theme. It would rally pop I think. If you arent sure, use some paper copies at first to see how you like it. Then bind it in blackyou might use different pieces of our color blocks to put the movie reels on.but I think white with the black and white reels and film would really be neat.

    tuesy, I don't think it needs a border. It's a stunning quilt as it is.

    I agree. I like it just as it is. I do not think it needs a border.

    What a beautiful quilt. I would love that on my bed. What size did you make it? I would use the dark red(burgundy) the one in the outside corner for the border.
