    That is awesome and a terrific use of left over fabrics.

    Looks like a fun project...I love the fussy cutting you did for many of the prints. I’m sure the white snowflake border will complete it nicely.

    If I were doing it I would put a green border and then a red and white stripe candy cane binding.

    Really clever quilt. I think your border should be one that 'reads solid' rather than the piano key concept. There would be nothing to set the border off if it competes with the quilt that already has that scrappy look. If you really wanted the piano key effect what about three or four darker prints? That would contrast with the lighter quilt.

    Nice work! I don't have any ideas, but I think your quilt looks great as is. Maybe just make a few more diamond blocks to get to a size you like? Not every quilt needs a border.

    I would add a small white stop border. Then a small print with no white in it as an outer border; perhaps 5 inches wide.

    I love everything about this quilt! I really want to make one of these, is this your own pattern?
