    I'd use the same cream color but a little bit wider to frame it. The quilt is absolutely lovely!

    IMHO, it is perfect just as it is right now. Fantastic quilt!

    Beautiful! I would like to make one some day. I agree with making a narrow off white border. Your blocks are the focus on this quilt.

    Such a pretty quilt as it is. Good color choices. Everytime I get on the board, my want-to-do list gets longer & longer.

    We learned at guild to not use White or any light color for binding. The reason being that you can't tell where the quilt ends with the light colors. I have some with White/light color binding, and when I study it, I believe this is true. I love your colors and lay-out. If it were my quilt, I would use the Fushia/Black, alone or together a the binding. Mariah.

    I think I would either match the "grout" lines, or pick a color that isn't predominant in the quilt to use for border and bind with the sashing color

    Personally, I think a narrow outer border the same color as the sashing would make the quilt complete. It is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

    It's beautiful just the way it is. You are on the right track with what you have planned.
