I am already addicted and thinking about another quilt.

You did a beautiful job for the first quilt. It really up to you how you quilt it. I like the border.

great job with your first quilt top. I see you've done Seminole piecing too. I do some of that in all of my pieced jackets, kinda my signature.

Love the black/white/grey colorway and you did a great job putting it together, especially for a first attempt. Keep up the good work.

Welcome and happy that you have joined the forum. I just love black and white together. Your quilt is beautiful and I think the border that you are considering would be perfect.
