I like everything but the pink "keys". Very nice quilt, Tartan! Lovely fabrics.

I agree with zozee that the pink fabric should be left out of the piano key border. I do however, like the pink inner border.

I like the second pic and add a pink binding...keep the pink out of the piano keys. Oh so many thoughts, remember it is your quilt!

I like the pink border and the second picture without the pink in the piano keys.

Top is done! I tried cornerstones and the fabric I had left did not look right. I tried going around the edge with the piano keys in one direction but I ended up with 1/2 keys. I tried the piano keys at the top and bottom and then the sides going the whole length and it worked out with only 1/8 to 1/16 over. SOLD! Here she is.[ATTACH=CONFIG]601897[/ATTACH]

Love it! You should be pleased.

This was your first time using the templates, wasn't it? Did you enjoy the process and will you be making others?

I did enjoy using the templates. With the dog ears removed it made the piecing easy and accurate. I want to try different colour placements to see what other patterns will appear on paper before doing another one in fabric.
