    I'm fond of 3 borders. Maybe the dark blue 1 -2" with that yellow 3 1/2" and finished with one of the pinks/reds at 5". Love the quilt.

    Beautiful! I agree, I think a white border will give it a nice finish!

    i would do the light border. if it needs to be bigger after that, i'd add a scrappy piano key border

    I second that... Your quilt is already beautiful but I can just picture it with a piano key border after a white inner border and then maybe a darker blue or red binding. Your colors are fun!
    attitude is everything...the rest will fall into place.

    I agree with QuiltnNan. A light strip all around and then a piano key border with all the fabric in the quilt, great top!

    When I looked at your quilt, I immediately imagined it with a narrow white "eye-stopper" followed by a piano-key border using all the colors in the quilt. This is definitely a masterpiece!!
    Sometimes I try to act "normal," but it gets boring so I just go back to being myself.
