i've used "piano keys" style of border a lot ...tho i didn't know it was called piano keys
, i just thought it was a cool way to make a border using scraps from quilt. the option of thin pink inner border then outer piano key looks perfect. i would leave the pink out of the piano key ..too bright, competes too much imho.
love this quilt!!
...and i have preferred, in my quilts, the butted corners. i prefer mitered corners & in piano key style borders, miter looks ok, but the butted seems more suited to the keys style.
.....and ...one more thought. when i do butted corners of simple pieced borders like this, i ofter do a log cabin style ...upper horizontal (across) border goes from corner & butts into down (verticle) border to bottom corner etc. last joining corner is set in stitching, but i like the way it looks. sorta "walks" around the outside. borders are
such fun!
