    I agree...black for either a second border or the binding would really set it off.

    I've had some great results using three borders...1st and 3rd from same fabric...I'd use that black print for these. The 2nd is the narrowest of the 3 and it could be any of the other fabrics or all of them except the black. The 1st is larger than the 2nd but smaller than the 3rd. I think of it as "sealing" the patchwork, "floating" the accent, and "framing" the big picture. Hope that makes some sense...it really needs a photo, I know...sorry...not a skill I've mastered yet. OH, forgot to say how much I like your top...I really like your top!

    I love it!!! It is perfect for a geometry teacher :D:D:D
    I agree with Joyce on the borders.

    I second the motion on this one. I like the black background with the numbers.

    My first impression when I looked at the quilt is that a red border would be perfect, thinking that you were only going to be doing one border. After reading everyone's comments, I agree that it would be much nicer with at least 2 borders, maybe 3. Red and black would be great colors to compliment the quilt. Nice job!
