    So very cool!

    I'd opt for the darkest blue for the border.
    Sigh.
    I always do.

    Look how great the lightest lights look right next to the dark squares on that center diagonal. They're GLOWING.

    I think a nice wide dark border will just make the whole center sparkle. It's like midnight.

    However, conversely, if you used the lightest light on the border, you'd get a whole North Pole frigid feel to it. Which could be very interesting.

    So either extreme, not some value in the middle because that would just muddle the whole quilt. One border. Wide.

    And matching, not contrasting, binding.

    imnsho. ;-) :mrgreen: ;) :mrgreen:

    I love the gradations and blending from light to dark to light - that is a really pretty quilt! I think you could do light or dark or even a mid-blue so I'm no help.
