In the olden days, women would use lace, ribbons, buttons, jewelry, and beads on their crazy quilts. However, those quilts were not used on the beds. They would lay them over a couch or use as a wall hanging. I have lots of scraps so im not worried about size , but would like it to be queen possibly. Yes i think i will use black sashing as was suggested above. Haven't planned the borders yet. This quilt is one that is in progress without any planning ahead. I just grab scraps and fit together like a puzzle , using decorative stitching that is on my machine. As for the quilting part, well guess i'll cross that bridge when i get to it. Im not one into the fancy quilting since i don't have a machine to do that, but i'll figure something out as time goes by. Am definitely open for suggestions on that.
