Looks great Bev. You did a terrific job. I like maybe a thin border in black and then come back with pieces of your color scraps, it that's all you have, white may wash it out too much. (I have to confess, though, I am not a fan of much white in my quilts, nor am I a fan of solid colors in my quilts)

Sorry just getting back to this, I misread your first post, thought you said black AND white not black OR white. :oops: I think the black because you have such a mix of bright colors that the black makes a good nuetral. I love black with brights!!!

I like the black too..but a more narrow strip, then of course a scrappy border. I love the piano key type border which would look great with this one. Its really easy and you can use up lots of little scraps doing it.
(I was told when I started to learn to quilt that if you couldn't see a mistake when galloping by on a horse, then it wasn't important) :wink:

Nice job, I think I'd put a two inch border in black and then the last border, a three or four inchs in the white. I like doing my binding in the same color as the last border. But your the designer so this should be up to you.
Happy Quilting...
