I love the colors. I guess I like sunglasses quilts!

I don' know what she used in this quilt, but there are some out there - search batik tiles. Here are some I found by Hoffman.

Thanks everyone for your ideas and suggestions! I laid the topper on the bed today and it turned out that I only had room for one border. I added the dark blue/black fabric that I used in the 9 patch blocks - same size as the pieces in the 9 patches and I think it will look fine.

I happen to like bright so I think your quilt is fantastic. I'm sure you'll find the proper home for it.

Batiks are wonderful - aren't they? I really like the snowflake materials and your 9 patches are really pretty.

I've never seen the batik fabrics w/ the pretty center motifs? What is it called?

I think your quilt is beautiful. Since you are asking for opinions I will add mine. I think a small inner border of one of the colors would be lovely and I think a solid dark outer border would cause the eye of the viewer to concentrate on your lovely pattern and wonderful color combination. I think a pieced border would be distracting. I would also do the binding of the same fabric as the outer border. I will be anxious to see what you do-you have lots of suggestions.

I am terrible at suggesting for others. I must say so far ... Beautiful. I definitely would frame it with the blue/ black, maybe a bit wider than a 2.5 inch strip before adding color then bind with the blue/black

I would use just the black to frame it.

I like the idea of the dark inner border and then the piano keys. It will be stunning!
