That looks amazing!!

Beautiful!!

WOW! What a stunner.

Great job! Your ideas for the borders are right on!

Could maybe do a cross-hatch in the entire middle of the quilt. And I like the vines idea for the borders.

Your quilt is sooo beatuiful it takes my breath away. I want it!!!!!!

Nice choice for the corners and border!
Show us again with the quilting PLEASE!
SO BEAUTIFUL!
Someone mentioned a book. Was this pattern in a book?
Don't know if I could convince myself to attempt that many pieces but I would sure like to take a peek and consider it.

OMG, that's awesome!!!! A black border sounds good!

Thank you so much!

I printed the pattern off the internet, Eleanor Burns on her show also did this quilt, but with a white background. It was beautiful and so crisp looking.

Oh my goodness!!! 3000 pieces. What a feat! And it looks gorgeous.

Kyia

WOW!

Suzi that is beautiful!!! And I love what you decided for the borders. :D

What a beautiful quilt. I am impressed! And did you say 3 weeks? I am REALLY impressed. :D

Wow!!!!! New quilter? Great job. Beautiful.

oh my gosh .... that is gorgeous. great job! :D

I'm still recovering from the beauty of this top--I can't even get to border thoughts.....Holy cow--stunning... just stunning. You must be grinning!

Oh! I just saw your completed quilt--and you couldn't have made a better decision!! You are so creative!! :D

I can just see that on your bed. Every time you walk in, it will be twinkling away, grabbing your attention. awesome, suzi! :D

My Goodness the is one bright quilt! It looks like it is plugged in on the last picture ... LOL! Bless your heart for being able to finish up such a labor intensive quilt with such bright colors ... I would have been cross-eyed.

So happy and cheerful a quilt. I wish I could do such a quilt.

WOW! That is just beautiful! And it only took 3 weeks! Amazing! Can't wait to see how you quilt it, I KNOW it will be stunning! :lol: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Gorgeous! The colors really pop against the black! I don't see how you could make a mistake on the borders of this one; almost anything will look great because of all the color in the quilt!

All I can say is WOW!!! That is absolutely fantastic!!! Perfect border selection too! You did an awesome job!!

Oh, gosh!

I've got to wipe the drool off of my keyboard,
my mouth just dropped when the picture came up!

I am in awe of anyone who could complete a
quilt with that many pieces. Not to mention, it is
just beautiful!!!!!!

Thank you everyone! It was a fun quilt to make, I think I'll give it to my youngest son. I think he'll like it because of the many colors.

WOW WOW WOW :D :D :D Perfect border choice!!!!

If it is going to your son, diamond hatching on the borders would look nice.... scattered treasure chests, maybe get an idea from a coloring book or clip art??? Yep, I said treasure chests....cuzz I'm not the one doing the quilting :wink: :wink: :wink:

Yes, black would set this off just great!

An awesome quilt, a fantastic border idea. That is quite some piece of work!
Congratulations!
Job, well done! <G>

OoooooooLaLa

Wow!! :!: Beautiful!! :-) :-) :-)

You are right..it needs to be framed in black. Doesn't even have to be a big border..It is awesome. What an amazing job you did.

You've done a beautiful job. I think your idea of a black border with color in the corners is great - and the suggestions of variegated quilting in those jewel box colors sounds perfect, too.

Will you quilt it yourself? hand or machine? Please continue to post as you get further along.

I am in such shock at seeing all the work that went into this quilt and those tiny pieces that i am at a loss of words for the border..........it is fantastic.......

Holy cow, that's gorgeous!

I'd go with the black, a thin one and then another bright one with a corner stone of black with some of the brights. Just a suggestion. It's a beautiful quilt you should be proud of yourself.

I would go with just a solid color in the boarder.tha quilt is right up my ally if you want to send it my way.lol :lol: :lol:

Gorgeous quilt!! I love the black border and how you did the cornerstones. You did a fantastic job.

I haven't read all the responses, but I agree with Klue. Or, if you were someone who liked to do applique, a twining vine (utilizing some of the jewel tones) through the wide black border might looke nice. Maybe.

Oops! Sorry! I forgot to include my Oohs and Ahs! Great use of color! Love that you used black rather than white. Your piecing looks wonderful!

This is really striking!! You did a great job.

I agree with most people a simple black border would show off this beatiful quilt to its fulless. Not as keen on the cornerstone idea. Cornerstones will not add to the quilt.

I love the black background, and I would definitely do a black border on it next.

Nice work!

Sorry - I posted before I read all five pages and realized that you were done. It looks really nice.
