My Grand Illusion top is almost done

I finally got the top almost finished. I need to add a final border before I can quilt it. This one is going to be a keeper for me:D Should I add a thin black border ad then perhaps a pink final solid border?
Thank you all so much for looking and continued inspiration!

I also attached a donation quilt that I finished with left over blocks from my DGN quilt.

Both are beautiful! Yes, I agree, thin black border would look nice.

I would go for just a thin black border. I have made this with a few changes but haven't quilted yet

​I like the idea of a thin black border and then choose one of the colour a from the quilt for a border. Match it to the room it is going in. The big block quilt is great also!

I really like the black sashings you've added to that quilt. It gives the impression of beautiful stained glass or elaborate tile work. Can you post more pictures? It's just beautiful. The donation quilt - and the quilting on it! - are also beautiful.

Very nice, think I'd do just a thin black border.

Sorry for duplicating this but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't figure out how to add more pictures to my original post. Dunster asked for some more photo's :) I am so glad she did I found an oops on a section just before the pink cornerstone and because of her I only have a little bit of ribbing , yahoo! Thank you Dunster!
By the way the quilt measures 77" wide and 109" long, plenty to cover the pillows.

I think that your narrow black border treatment makes this quilt beautiful. I may never get mine done, but there is always hope and if I get that far, I will "borrow" your idea to make mine half-way beautiful too.

Awesome quilts. I like the idea of the thin black border as well. I would only add the pink border if you need it for size.

That is a gorgeous quilt. Lots of work.
