    Wow! Fabulous! My brother would love this quilt. I love this quilt. I agree with the black border as well. Can't wait to see this finished.

    The black border should be the perfect finish. Your son will love it, especially since you made it just for him.

    The black border will outline it beautifully. Perhaps even a very narrow red border in between. I love it.

    I think a narrow red border then the black would be the thing to do. I love your quilt and the random pattern of the composers. It's great and I'm sure your son will love it!!

    I agree with everyone else. Beautiful job and your son will love it. I get insecure also when I'm working on something for someone special like your son is to you. My husband is a musician, so I collect music fabric also. What if you did a 1 or 1 1/2" black border, then a 2" red print, finished with a 4" black? That would give it a focal frame. Be sure and let us know your son's reaction when he receives it, please.

    Black border will set this off just perfect. He'll love it.

    I think you did an awesome job! A dark brown or black border would be perfect IMHO. Its a great combination for a guy. Its hard working scrappy 'cause we get very intimate with the fabric but stand back and look at the pics - it is truly a work of art. Good Job. :thumbup: :thumbup:
