Ok so first i thank all of you for the suggestions. You al have bright ideas, second i am officially confused now about the piano border. I thought you were all talking about the printed piano fabric (it happened i saw one last week), but then you keep saying from my border. Could someone explain pls :oops:

They mean narrow strips of each color fabric used in the quit not necessarily black and white. Sort of a striped band around it!
Here is a link that may help.

Piano keys border is just strips of fabric sew together, horizontal on the sides and vertical top & bottom. Great way to make a wider border with narrow strips.

Since you have blue, green and yellow and most of them have orange in them, why not try orange? Most places will allow you to take the item you've made into the store to choose the fabric (but hang on tight to it).
