I need input on a border please
 

I used a panel today and made up this quilt, as seen on a benatex ad in a quilt magazine. the magazine shows the freestyle log cabin continued after the black trim. WWYD? I am thinking maybe a piano key border? or just leave it?
thanks for any ideas or input.

that is very cute indeed. a piano border sounds good. just depends on how large you need it to be.

I think black would really highlight you cats & flower backgrounds.

I think that a piano key border would look nice after the black border.

I, too, think a piano key board would look great. Be sure to show us how it finished. Also, I bought a panel of cats and then had no idea what to do with them. Thanks for the idea.

This is really cute! I am no good at border help, but I had to tell you this was cute!

Very cute top. I would at least use a dark border then do a piano key border using some of the fabric from the blocks.

I think a piano key border would be great ,I use it all the time. Great quilt.

I think the black skinny boarder with the piano keys would look lovely

Keep in mind I'm still fairly new to quilting...

But I think something done on the bias for a border would add a nice punch.
Dark or black fabric would balance it all nicely.

**Love the quilt. Be sure to let us know when you've finished it. We want to see!! :cool:

Love it I think a black boarder would be perfect.

Hope you don't mind if I use your idea for some orphan blocks...also, I think a piano key border would look very nice. I might would add two very narrow borders, a solid black about 1" and one of the fabrics you have on your photo about 1 1/2" wide. Love your quilt, can't wait to see what you do.

a black border would be perfect ~ it looks fantastic. what a smart way to use a panel!
