What type of border would you put on this (it is an Omigosh quilt)?
#21
I worked up a few ideas in EQ7. I happen to be working on a variation of Omigosh myself (replacing the Shoo Fly block - so the version below looks slightly different). My EQ7 versions don't have as wide a variety of color as your quilt or mine, but it gives us a general idea.
1st pic is with a piano key border ... I think it's very distracting (oops .. I forgot to add a white inner border, but I don't think it will help much <g>).
2nd pic is with a diamond border ... slightly less distracting
3rd pic is with QuiltE's suggestion of using the double 9 patch in every other block around the border to extend the chain. Of the three ... I like this idea the best!!

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 thought about this one a while. Here's what I'd do, I'd put on a narrow border of white. Then I'd add mini 9 patches but make them match the colors of the blocks as you go around the quilt and then another narrow border of white and white binding.
