    I love it. So bright and vibrant. I would go with a plain border.

    I so want your quilt!!!! I would have not even noticed the oops block if you hadn't mentioned it.
    How about if you put a black boreder then a white then another black one. Whatever you decide will be perfect.

    A black border and end it there. Maybe no border at all? I also tend to black and then white as dreamboat suggested. No pieced border--would take away from the inside blocks and make it busier.

    I agree. But be sure and make a inner border in black and then add the piano keys as your outer border.

    I agree. It would frame it so beautifully!! Love the eye-popping colors!!
