Love the array of colors. I agree a white border is a must. If you feel something else would be needed. I've done a quilt where I've just added some extra blocks only at the four corners, which extended the quilt design but kept the eyes on the whole quilt. You would put like 3 or 5 at each corner. Do what I always say to myself, KISS it. Keep It Simple Stupid.

I think I'd pick a narrow solid border, or maybe a flange and finish it up with a white border. If you still want to pull in one of the colors, bind it in a solid.
|
I could not believe my eyes. How long did it take you to make these blocks?

One more ... I kinda like this too. I put a 4" white border then a series of 1" different colored stripped borders followed by a 4" white border. I like the frame. While I like the look ... the thought of 80" long 1" strips frightens me!!!

I don't have a good suggestion for you but just want to say , "Oh my goodness, that quilt top is wonderful!

Great "playing" on the EQ7 with lots of ideas, DHMom! </g> This will be a gorgeous quilt! Some day I want to try one. |
Very pretty. I am not a big fan of white and would not add more white. I would pick out one of my favorite colors and make that the border. I do not like the idea of a piano border. Too busy for that much detail going on in the field. But don't pay any attention to me - I am just a novice and looking at it with what is probably an untrained eye.

I would add a nice black or brown thin inner border than use a larger outer border. this will help break up the quilt and give the eyes a place to rest. especially if you do a piano key border. But that is just me. then for the big border I would go with maybe a tyedie batik or fabric. one that is rainbowish in color. that would look nice I bet.

hi
I have made two OMG I used 3 small boarder fabrics on my white back ground one and just picked what fabric I had lots of. On my black back ground one I used boarders to equal the size of my OMG block and added more OMG blocks in the corners. I really like the idea of the diamonds. I am thinking about making a 3 rd.. Just love this quilt |
I can see a white inner boarder and then a larger boarder with a prairie points using all the colors in the center... I agree a piano boarder would seen heavy and take away the center beauty...
