It looks like the consensus is a colorful binding. It really is an outstanding quilt! May you have sleepless nights every now and then!

That was my thought also, but cjsews beat me to it. Great minds think alike. lol

I am usually a border person but with this one I would leave it as it is. The design has a "built-in" border. I would use the leftover fabric and make a patchwork border.

Very pretty and well done. Lucky recipient.

It is very pretty as it is. I do like the idea of a colorful binding.

Cheers, K

Beautiful, love the colors next to the black. I think using some of the fabrics for a border would make it a tad bigger and finish it off nicely.

If anything I would add a piano border with black between the colored fabric.

I thought the same thing. Think it would really pop that way. Love your quilt.

I would do a narrow bright strip then a flange in the black - love this! Be sure to post a photo when it's done.
