need help with border for Corvette quilt
#1
I have finally created a quilt from the large print of Corvettes that I have been puzzling over. Now I am wondering what type of border to put on it. I thought I would go with black, but now I am not so sure. And what size??
This quilt will be auctioned off at a charity auction at our next Corvette car show. My last one, a baby quilt, sold for $240. I am still a beginning quilter, and that quilt looked like a beginner did it. I want this one to end up looking much better. All of the folks at the auction will be Corvette owners, not quilters, if that makes a difference.
Any suggestions? Thanks. (I think I have attached the picture correctly. You will have to ignore the quilt examiner. He just would not be moved, and I was too soft hearted to forbid him to be there, as he is part of all my projects. :) )

What about a tiny black streak between all the squares? Seems to me it would make them pop!! Then gray and then black all around the quilt itself. Perhaps a thin black and thicker gray.
It's a lovely quilt and I'll bet some owner of a much loved Corvette will outbid anyone else and take it home and love it forever.
