    That is a very pretty colorful quilt! :thumbup:
    I agree with Grammy o'5.

    Perhaps a black border, then scraps of the colors pieced together for the binding. :)

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I've been playing around with everything suggested but still haven't made a decision. Hopefully I'll decide over the weekend, I'm ready to move on to my next project.

    Thanks again!

    I think this is a good idea.

    I like it with no border - just the black binding.

    I vote for a black and white checkerboard border with black binding.

    You could do a black border with the block triangles you used on the top. Put the triangles on the corners.
