I think a piano key border using a little more of all the colorful fabrics would be nice too.

Advice, anyone? I've decided this is a Christmas present so need to finish it by tomorrow.

I LOVE the batiks, what is the name of the pattern? I really like it? I think a border of white would be awesome and really make the flowers POP. Let us know what what you decide. Post a picture of the finished product okay?

Beautiful. With or without a border it will be beautiful.

Thank you everyone. I think the name is bricks. I found a pattern called that but it uses small blocks. I prefer the larger ones. http://www.maryquilts.com/wp-content...est-Bricks.pdf

That is very pretty, with or without another border!

What size are your blocks?

Beautiful! Great use of batiks!

I would make a pieced border using the same beautiful fabrics in your quilt. I think it would frame it nicely.

I would gladly receive it as a Christmas present. I love it.

Briget, it appears like you have used some of the materials I sent. I hope so. It is very nicely done but I do agree a colored border would be a great addition to this quilt. Even a narrow colorful border and then another black border would enhance it a lot. Great Job.
