Too much of a good thing for border?

I love the border in the size you did; think it enhances rather than diminishes the quilt.
One fabric borders, print or solid, almost always look to me like an attempt to enlarge the quilt w/o too much effort.

I like the border, but I would also add another black border on the outside, a little wider than the other black one, & it might give your piano key border a bit of a floating affect, which you might like better too. Good job, nice quilt!...

It will be beautiful either way. Piano key borders are so pretty. I think a black border will make the blocks stand out more than the piano keys will. They are sooooooo pretty!!! I like TanyaLynn's suggestion to use a piano key binding.
