It looks like the consensus is a colorful binding. It really is an outstanding quilt! May you have sleepless nights every now and then!:)

That was my thought also, but cjsews beat me to it. Great minds think alike. lol

I am usually a border person but with this one I would leave it as it is. The design has a "built-in" border. I would use the leftover fabric and make a patchwork border.

Very pretty and well done. Lucky recipient.

It is very pretty as it is. I do like the idea of a colorful binding.

Cheers, K

Beautiful, love the colors next to the black. I think using some of the fabrics for a border would make it a tad bigger and finish it off nicely.

If anything I would add a piano border with black between the colored fabric.

I thought the same thing. Think it would really pop that way. Love your quilt.

I would do a narrow bright strip then a flange in the black - love this! Be sure to post a photo when it's done.
