Opinions please
 

The quilt top decided it wanted to be this size because I ran out of the big floral fabric. That's the trouble with working with bits and pieces. I thought a piano key border would look good but I am not so sure.[ATTACH=CONFIG]601813[/ATTACH]

Or a thin pink border before the piano keys and remove the pink piano keys ? Should I miter the piano key ends or do the sides up to the top? I am leaning towards not miters because I will have to put a join in the pink border to get it long enough. I think a straight join will be less noticable then a 45 especially if I quilt at the join?[ATTACH=CONFIG]601814[/ATTACH]

I like the piano key border, with or without the pink border.

I like it with the border to break it up some. The pink is good, but you could use almost any color in the quilt. Should look great!

i've used "piano keys" style of border a lot ...tho i didn't know it was called piano keys :o, i just thought it was a cool way to make a border using scraps from quilt. the option of thin pink inner border then outer piano key looks perfect. i would leave the pink out of the piano key ..too bright, competes too much imho.
love this quilt!!

...and i have preferred, in my quilts, the butted corners. i prefer mitered corners & in piano key style borders, miter looks ok, but the butted seems more suited to the keys style.
.....and ...one more thought. when i do butted corners of simple pieced borders like this, i ofter do a log cabin style ...upper horizontal (across) border goes from corner & butts into down (verticle) border to bottom corner etc. last joining corner is set in stitching, but i like the way it looks. sorta "walks" around the outside. borders are such fun! :D

I like the pink border and the piano keys afterwards. No opinion on the miter or not.

I like the pink with the mix of fabrics, to give it a bit of a lift.

However, to me, putting the pink border between the centre and the piano keys,
kind of chops it all up.

Putting it at the outer edge, would give a nice frame around the whole field of the quilt.

You could do it as an extra wide binding (should you have enough of the pink).

I love the inner border with the pink removed from the piano keys. I think you can butt-joint the pieces, no miters necessary.

I'd probably bind with pink as well, but it might be a nice chance to bring out one of the other colors.

i prefer the pink border and piano keys, sans pink keys. (They draw too much attention to themselves.) I love the mixed batiks.

I like the pink border then the piano key border.
