Hi to all you wonderful quilters,
I have hand pieced a quilt top for a double size bed. The center are nine patches on point. There are then 3 borders -- each 6" wide. The center of these borders is made up of all piano keys -- almost 100 total in various fabrics from my stash. I have quilted the first (inner) border with a floral pattern. My question is: how do I quilt the piano keys? They are 6" in width x 3". I have not yet decided what to do for the outermost border..... All quilting is to be hand quilted.
Happy holidays to everyone.

piano keys are busy enough without alot of quilting, I would just do outline quilting 1/4 from all seams. If I was machine quilting them I would do SID.
Would love to see a picture of the quilt:)
