Gorgeous quilt. You must have some awesome stash.

Any suggestions on a border? Thanks for looking.

Do you have a particular person or bedroom in mind? If you do, I think I'd use a batik the color that best suits that person or room. OTH, if you could find yardage in a similar black batik, that would always work. OR maybe just construct a band of left over batiks for the outer border.

LOVE your quilt colors, fabric and the pattern you chose. Batik is my fabric of choice.

I love it! I don't know about adding a border. I might just bind it in black and call it beautifully done.

Outstanding!! What size blocks did you use of the D9P?

Very nice, I was thinking a black border with a small ribbon of orange near the top or bottom third of the black.

Do you need this to be larger? If so, I think a black border would finish it off nicely. It wouldn't even need to be the same black Batik as you have in the squares. Maybe add a skinny flange or piping with short sections of all the fabrics used in the top, placed right next to the binding.

Love your quilt. I like the idea of a black border as well.
