Very beautiful & colorful !!

Black.

I think it's busy enough to have a plain border, or maybe two or three plain borders, rather than a pieced one. You could echo the colours in one of your log cabin blocks and go turquoise, green & purple. Plain borders would give your eye a place to rest, and frame the piecing.

It's a beautiful quilt!

I remember seeing that one and saying I love it! I am partial to log cabins. Thanks

I would go with a small solid border and a piano key outside border w. solid binding.
You did a great job on the quilt.

I hate double posts. It didn't show up, so I sent it again. Sorry. :oops:

I like the idea of a narrow dark frame to contain the quilt before adding any border at all. The eye needs a stopping place. Border? Anything not too wild. A ribbon border would work.

I like the idea of choosing 3 colours and doing a "tri-border", but piano keys looks stunning too...ah decisions, decisions. By the way, beautiful quilt top...colours are really fantastic.

As a manic pre-washer I can't really help with the running issue, but I know there have been many posts about this - as for the black pepper - I've not heard of it and with all the products available I wouldn't risk ruining a quilt for just a few extra dollars.

i would probably add a plain border, then something funky. i have no idea what a ribbon border is. maybe multicoloured stripes from what you have left over of the colours you used. i am also a pre-washer so i can't help you there but i read a few threads on here about running colours so you could probably search that.

Gorgeous quilt, I would one of the blues and put just a plain border around it. So it wouldn't be to busy and wouldn't take away from that beautiful quilt.
