I think it is an absolutely beautiful quilt. Maybe a narrow 2" or so border, then a 4-6" border in black or brown, something to frame that beautiful quilt. I think it's fun when you discover a UFO that you had forgotten about and realize just how much you have improved over the years.

I love it. Why would you change it? I use the reverse of fabric all the time. Several years ago for our guilds officers challenge we were given some ugly fabric to use. We had to use the whole piece. The reverse side was really interseting so I used mostly the back side. WOn first place.

OK, I'm not alone I often much prefer the reverse side of fabrics or both. 60 percent of the fabrics on this quilt are not batiks and about 5 to 8% are used on the reverse to capture color balance in my view.
Thank you all or your encouraging comments...sure will save some time to leave it as is.
