What type of border would you put on this (it is an Omigosh quilt)?

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.

Definitely this is the one I like the best. While the others are beautiful, they do tend to distract from the beautiful, beautiful center.

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
