I am already addicted and thinking about another quilt.

You did a beautiful job for the first quilt. It really up to you how you quilt it. I like the border.

OOOOOO, very pretty!

Great job! That is a very dramatic quilt, and I like your border.

great job with your first quilt top. I see you've done Seminole piecing too. I do some of that in all of my pieced jackets, kinda my signature.

Love the black/white/grey colorway and you did a great job putting it together, especially for a first attempt. Keep up the good work.

Your quilt is very well done, and teaching yourself 'seminole patchwork' on the possible border is a nice finish.

You are doing great...keep it up.

You've done a really nice job. I really like your border.

That's a great border for a very nice quilt.

Welcome and happy that you have joined the forum. I just love black and white together. Your quilt is beautiful and I think the border that you are considering would be perfect.
