To quilt around border or not?

Almost done w/this Moda neutrals lap quilt. I have the darker turquoise binding ready] to place for a one inch wide binding. I quilted inside the square boxes and also did the starter up/down straight stitch seams across the disappearing nine patch quilt.

Ok will give it a go- just not a pro at it yet and don't want to ruin it.

Nicely done! I'd quilt the border too. You could follow along the pattern in kind of a chevron design. It's not too wide, so you could probably get away with 2-3 rows of it. Or you could continue with how you have the center quilted.

I am with all the others, quilt the border. I always quilt my borders, no matter how small they are. Gives a finished look.

Yes, do piano key in center of each of those obtuse triangles...easy peasy...will be great.

Never done piano keys .Should be all same length or varied? I am just trying to avoid having an un-even border for binding.

Yes, you need to quilt something in the border to keep the layers in place. Job well done so far.
