The 1st border (white or tone on tone) will frame this nicely and blend with the Navy with white pin dots.
Why not make them each a little wider and just go with the two borders?
Another thought....4 smaller borders; a light then a scrappy border made of the left over fabrics from the HSTs then your orginal light, then the navy?
Good luck and please show us what you decide.

I love your quilt. Too bad you aren't ready to make it larger. It will be lovely no matter the size.

That's actually what I first wanted to do, is put the piano key between the white and navy, but when I laid it out, it clashed. The HST's are all from scrap 4" squares so there's no yardage to utilize any of those fabrics.

I also thought too of doing the two borders only wider, but something in me wants to try adding a little something to it, just haven't come across the solution yet.

Thank you all immensely for all the encouragement and suggestions. I'm grateful for the help!

That is beautiful!! :thumbup:

Very nice quilt, I love all the wonderful fabrics you have used!

What a beautiful scrappy quilt. I think it's wonderful. Great job.

I LOVE it!! :thumbup: All of the colors you have put together, look so great!! :D Keep with it, as you are doing a marvelous job, making your experiment quilt!!
:D :D :D :D

I'm blushing!!! Thank you for the kind words of encouragement. You all made my day!

Have you thought of putting a small border first say an inch and a half then your light and navy. I find that sometimes a small border first sets the eye for larger borders. I love the idea of using your scraps in the border too. What a dilema eh? It sure is a beautiful quilt anyway. I just love it. Thanks for sharing and may I say inspiring me.
