I like it but would probably add another wider black border to separate the colors a little more,you could even add black borders on both sides of keys I had to do that recently on one of my quilts increased size of quilt and looked nice to.Your quilt is beautiful both ways with or without keys .

The piano keys look really good - - sort of like fringe! ... I make quite a lot of these quilts and I usually just pick a solid border, rather than pieced, but your piano keys look very complimentary <wave>

This one side took me TWO days to put together. It is very time- consuming.
I think this quilt would be fantastic with just your black border, and bound with your multistripes...........
