You ladies all helped me out greatly - decided to go with no sashing and I am pleased with it.
For some reason the colors look "yucky" when photographed, but in "real life" they are beautiful golden browns and blacks all with glitter.
Now, I have put 2 options for the borders:
one with poka dots
one with black
Once again, I would like your opinions and on Monday I can finish it up.
Thanks again for previous and future help. I just love this group.

I'm not sure. The black looks blueish on my computer, but I know I don't care for the dots.

Black makes it pop. It looks like an elegant picture frame. My personal opinion gives good contrast and weighs the quilt. I am all for dark borders.

VEry good job

I sure like that without the sashing. I hope you go for the black border. Such a pretty quilt. I am looking forward to you post when it is all finished.
