Black borders would be perfect.. also the cornerstones... beautiful....just Beautiful.

it looks great. i like your idea of a large black border with 4P cornerstones. then you can do some pretty quilting in the large border with some jewel variegated thread.

It is amazing ! Do I dare ask how long it took to make ? As for borders.. Black to finish it off is my choice also

Your quilt is so very beautiful. I'm sure you will determine what border will work best--you certainly know what you're doing :).

Now I don't want to hear any more about how you are intimidated to show your work as you are a newer quilter!!!
Girl you have more than earned your stars!!! That is one fantastic quilt!!!!
You have no reason to be ashamed of your work!!!! It is gorgeous!!
You deserve to pat yourself on the back for this one!!

I look forward to seeing it all done!

That is absolutely stunning!

Just to be different for the border.... what about a nice wide strip of black, with a chain of coloured squares the size of the smaller squares in the body of the quilt.

Hi Sharon, Thank you! :D I believe I've been working on and off on this for about 3 weeks or so.
