I have done piping in the past with the itty bitty piping, but this time I just wanted something very small inbetween the quilt and the black border, so I am almost done - I actually bought piping that would be used for pillows (I think it is 5/8 inch) - a lot bigger than normally used for quilts; and wrapped it with the brown and gold poka dot material.

I wanted one row of the gold dots to show - didn't want just brown - so that is why I had to use a larger cord for piping.
I am putting on the last side now, and then will put the black border on.

Before I put black border on I am going to look at some Very Very light embroidery scrolls or ??? on the black material before I cut and attach it.

It's getting there.
