Default Finishing ideas

I am done with making this pp scrappy log cabin. Wonderering what you all think. I would do a thin blacke border and then do a wide piano key border. Or border with a turquoise color and black and white striped binding.[ATTACH=CONFIG]593822[/ATTACH]

Like it! Wish you were in my guild as this month's program is on using up strings and this is perfect. think I would go with the turquoise border and the striped bindging. (but then I love turquoise!)

I like it. I think your idea of piano keys is great.

It's a beauty! So colorful... so neatly done. I think the turquoise and stripes would be great... but then the piano keys would be wonderful also. I'm such a big help!

I love it! I would use a narrow black stop border first to separate the colorful center from any other border you might do. A piano key sounds good, or even a checkerboard or flying geese.

My thoughts---- either nothing, just a solid color binding, or if a border, maybe a narrow black, then wider solid color. I think there's enough going on in the body of the quilt, don't want to distract, just confine and define.
