Pretty, pretty

Lots of times people put the original fabric for a border so you can be amazed at how fantastic the kaleidoscopes turned out.

I agree! This is a beautiful top.

I just bought a Spin Art machine to use with fabric and some screen print ink that I found at Michaels for really cheap. I know that's not what you did but your quilt will be my inspiration as I start making <some giant number> of 5" blocks. Love it!!!!!

Very colorful.

I think a blue border would help finish it off.

This is one of the most striking kaleidoscope quilts I've seen. The blue sashing is great. Could you use your original fabric is an outer border. Or perhaps, incorporate some of it on the back. I always think it is fun to see the original to see how the maker chose to cut the sections of the pattern. Whatever you choose to do will be great-you have a really stunning quilt!
