A border would just mess up the nice thing you have going already. Not all quilts should have a border.

I would bind it with black binding and call it done! It is lovely, by the way

I'd put a black border on it the same width as your black and white sashing, with black binding.

I love your quilt! I have no border suggestions, other than I would put a border on it. I just wanted to tell you that is one sweet quilt!

Thanks for all the comments. I am leaning toward a turquoise border color. I will post it in pictures when I finish it. This is the second sampler quilt I have made as a project for our very small quilt group that meets once a month in my community. We have several beginners and for 2 years we have taken turns selecting BOMs for the group to do, making sure we covered lots of techniques and skill levels. My first sampler was made with Christmas fabric and I ran out of some of the fabric I was using so I choose to do the rest of the blocks with scraps but did not use white or cream as a background, that was a challenge. I have always wanted to do a black and white border technique so these few blocks were an experiment. I really like how they frame the blocks and add interest. Thanks again for the help deciding.

I wouldn't. How do you plan on binding it? Personally, I think a thin black binding would give it a nice, clean finished look. Sometimes less is better than more

No border.

I would add a border. I think any bold color would be great. The turquoise would be perfect. I love your sashing and corner stones. Nice finish.

ok...ok...ok....my personal preference would be red! I can see it against the black and white sashing/border. But here is something you might try...take colored construction paper and cut strips and place along the edge of the corner of the quilt to get an idea of what you'd prefer. The size of the border does not need to be cut 1/2" or whatever size you intend to use as you can cut the paper strips wider (for ease of use) and just place them under/behind the quilt to see which color you'd like best. Or maybe you'd have some quilt scraps just to test out. Good Luck!

I agree completely
