Another vote for black here. Don't think I'd consider it ugly at all, you have done a beautiful job.

I'd go for the black and leave it at that. What a huge amount of work for an"ugly"! I don't get the ugly at all. It is a beautiful quilt. Keep the border and binding simple so as to not distract from the overall beauty.

I vote what Cris said - the small white border would be perfect to setoff everything.

If that fabric was ugly, you turned it into a thing of beauty! Can't wait to see the finished project.

I agree stick to the black for a border. It really makes your lovely blocks pop.

I certainly don't think it is ugly. It is beautiful. No matter how you do the border.

That really turned out great. Love the black. I'd finish it off with 1/2 " piano key of the striped fabric. Great job!!
