I like it the way it is in the photo with the piano keys....BUT most important is what your quilting heart is saying to YOU! :)

I agree with this. Yellow or blue.

I agree - but would use a deep blue rather than black - with the key work as the binding. A wide solid border would really make your work "pop"!

I like it with the piano keys! I would probably give it a binding in the solid black to finish it off. What a great way to use up your scraps!

Was thinking the same thing! Beautiful quilt, but it needs more of the black to set off the patterns and not compete.

You're right, the stripes detract from the main design

I'm with sewingladydi: A busy quilt needs a simple frame (or 2). Great quilt!
