    They mean narrow strips of each color fabric used in the quit not necessarily black and white. Sort of a striped band around it!
    Here is a link that may help.

    Piano keys border is just strips of fabric sew together, horizontal on the sides and vertical top & bottom. Great way to make a wider border with narrow strips.

    Since you have blue, green and yellow and most of them have orange in them, why not try orange? Most places will allow you to take the item you've made into the store to choose the fabric (but hang on tight to it).
