Nice quilt. Not sure about the boarder.

Red narrow inner border followed by piano key border. It is already a stunner. The border will make it spectacular. froggyintexas

I like the look of your piano key. The whole quilt is very nice.

Love the piano key border, it keeps the quilt from being too repetitious?

I love your quilt and border. However, I would use a plain color--probably White before using another border. It gives the eyes a rest before seeing something after the quilt itself.

I love this quilt and the border you made! Maybe a thin sash to separate the addition of the white and red border will set it off perfect. Perhaps black.

Your quilt is absolutely beautiful. What ever you decide cannot diminish it's beauty.

The red in the border brings out the red in teh blocks. Very pretty.

I love that piano key border, but, along with some others think it is too large for this quilt. I would love to see the keys the same width as the sashing.

I love this quilt! And love the border you've done. The HSTs would probably also look smashing. So, no help here, except to say I think you can't go wrong with this lovely creation!
