These two are mitered. I do like the looks of a mitered corner. Name: 100_0295.JPG

Love the diagonal corners.

so many wonderful ideas... I think I just did a solid block when I did the quilt in my Avatar... your possibilities seem endless.

We'll be curious to know what you decided...

I just finished a quilt with piano key border and put half square triangles in each corner and it looks good

I make the piano key border often and always use a coordinating square in the corner. I tried taking the keys right to the corner, but it is too busy a look for me.

Wow! Thank you all for the wonderful responses and ideas! I've decided that I'm just going with a solid block on this one. The center of the log cabins are tomato red, so I'm using that same, red fabric for each corner. It's quick, easy and it looks really good. I'm definitely keeping everyone's ideas in my mind for my next piano key border that is coming up. I love this border, so I'm planning to use it often.

Quilt a music note on each corner block, or do a paper pieced music note in each corner.

I usually do like PaperPrincess and have them chase each other

I prefer a solid block at the corners. I want the piano key border to be the star.
