    I would go with a small white border then I would find a print that had many colors in it. Just my opinion.

    I think a dark blue with some purple in it would be nice.

    Cute quilt, I would go with a three different pieces from thin to thicker. Red, white and black. May not be in that order but make the border closest to the quilt thinner than the other two. do a gratuated witdth of strips. Can't wait to see the finished quilt! :thumbup: :thumbup:

    I love the quilt! It really looks great, nice and scrappy! If this were mine I would put a 1 inch dark blue border to frame it then a nice 3 inch dark red/burgandy or green outer border.

    How about a small red inner border and a piano key outer border, using up more of your scraps.

    Lovely quilt top, I always think blues are restful if it is for a bed.

    It is wonderful. I like the white to break it up too. Good luck with seing the bottom of your scrap draw.
