Default Need quilting suggestions please and thanks

[ATTACH=CONFIG]615068[/ATTACH]Made piano key borders, and no idea how to long arm them, the rest of the quilt I quilted using circles and stars, but would like to do something different on these borders. Any suggestions would help me out. Thanks.

Ditch them, every single one. I think anything else would detract that they look like actual piano keys.

I agree but I would quilt/sew with white thread and stay on the white next to the black. That may lend to making the black pop more. Thanks for asking.
