Wonderful suggestions! My personal choice would to use a solid color binding only. Since you would like to use a border, there is no doubt it will look fantastic as well. Whoever wins the raffle is lucky!

A dark blue border (wider than the very light one between the red) would look very nice then maybe a red one too. I think plain would be the way to go since there is so much going on in the quilt itself. Beautiful quilt!

Of the fabric auditions KarenK posted, I like the first one best and I would make the inner border narrower. Beautiful quilt. You did a wonderful job!

This is absolutely gorgeous! Did you design this yourself? You are so creative. I would simply bind it with a dark color, or, if it needs to be larger, use a dark border. Would love the pattern.

The dark blue or green you have would be a make a great border and make the rest of the quilt pattern pop.

I would go against the majority and do another pieced border of some type. Even piano keys would be better than just a plain border. You could take any one of your pieced borders and repeat it or you could add checkerboard boarders.

Really love the quilt. I agree with most people, a darker border with a smaller inner border would frame the quilt and give the eye a place to rest. Using blenders rather than a solid would make the contrast a little less stark, and as the name implies, blend with the design.
Karen: Great design tool, nice to see in in the fabric.

I agree! I think a pieced border would be overkill and a plain border would look like you were just thing to make it bigger for no reason. I think it's perfect the was it is!! You did a great job!
