I think this is stunning! How did you get the black in the blocks - how big are the black strips and where did you place them so they are on the money???????
If I were feeling frisky with this quilt, I would put two back borders with strings in the middle. I am doing that for a string block silk tie quilt. I use doodle paper & it is 11" so I cut 3" off and use that for the border. I'm hoping it looks as delicious as your quilt!

I'm including the quilt with the borders I am most proud of. My friend is S. African and travels a lot. She was at my house when this set of fabrics came and she LOVED them. So she recently had gotten remarried and I wanted something special, so this was it. When I got to the borders I had 1 yd of the focal fabric and little left of the border fabric. So I fussy cut the focal and attached the borders with that. I love how it turned out. I felt so creative!!!
I love these borders
