Oh, I forgot to tell you if you are wondering why it isn't all sewn together, I am QAYG this one with 4 sections.

I like it. I think I would put a narrow white border around and then do a wider 'piano key' border using the colors in your blocks.

I agree with burnsk. White with a piano key.

A piano key border would look great.

I was thinking exactly the same thing even the narrow white border. Just had to have it confirmed. I also saw a post with a 6 patch border. It looked neat. Well, I say exactly, but I was thinking of sewing strips together and cutting them to width. I didn't call it a piano key. How wide are the strips for the piano key border. Or do you do it a different way?

I agree with everyone, narrow white border and piano keys would look great.

I'd like to see a narrow border and then a six inch border from some kind of paisley fabric.
