Scrappy Strings Border Suggestions
#1
I'm looking for suggestions for the border of this almost completed top.
Should I just add a black border and keep it simple or I was thinking of taking the strings and going around the top to follow the color wheel or does anyone have a different option?

I think a border of alternating black with your jewel colors would look nice. Each block would be half a triangle. Use your blue strips (for example), and only make the bottom half of your strippy triangle. It is a 4-sided figure, a flat top with sloping sides. Try several different varieties of borders, and audition them, before committing to one. Love double and triple borders, adds a look of strength and stability to scrappy quilts, in my view.

I only have about a dozen blocks made, but I guess it is too late to start over. Will be interested in the board's response to your request for border suggestions.
