Great looking quilt - you are one really brave lady to tackle that much paper piecing. Thanks for posting your pic

It's beautiful! How will you quilt it? I've been working on a New York Beauty and haven't figured out how to quilt it.

Spectacular quilt!! I don't have the nerve to tackle one like that! Your ideas on finishing sound good to me--but as others have said don't distract from your fabulous piecing!!

This needs to be bordered with a very minute lime green border; maybe to equal one inch when finished; then hung as it is a work of art. The small lime green border would enhance, not detract from your work of art. Awesome job! GiGi

You could piece them into the border, or applique them, which would be easier.

I think this would be perfect.
