What beautiful workmanship! That deserves a ribbon seriously. IF it were me, I'd stitch in the didtch around the design in the border so the quilting on the inside of the quilt stands out. That is so beautiful.

Don, this quilt is beautiful. Your handwork is so nice. I don't have any ideas for your border except maybe echo quilt the greek key patchwork 1/4 from the seam on both the light and dark elements.

Absolutely gorgeous !!! Beautiful hand quilting, I could never do that nice so I just started machine quilting and churning them out much faster and so much easier on the hands.

Your quilt is amazing. I would add the simple white border double the width of the blue/brown spiral border to set off the greek pattern. This is certainly a blue ribbon quilt. Congratulations!
