    That would make it look sharp. I like both also.
    Exactly what I was visualizing! Would make a stunning finale to an already great quilt.

    Here's a similar quilt (not exactly the same but similar) with a braided border. Might help you visualize yours with a piano border. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-158183-1.htm

    Blue for binding as the finishing for sure.
