i think it will be lovely with the piano key border.

That is so beautiful. I think the piano keys border is nice.

Very nice looking quilt.

Me too, it is quite something.

I like it but would probably add another wider black border to separate the colors a little more,you could even add black borders on both sides of keys I had to do that recently on one of my quilts increased size of quilt and looked nice to.Your quilt is beautiful both ways with or without keys .

The piano keys look really good - - sort of like fringe! ... I make quite a lot of these quilts and I usually just pick a solid border, rather than pieced, but your piano keys look very complimentary <wave>

I like the piano border. Your quilt is beautiful.

This one side took me TWO days to put together. It is very time- consuming.

Your string quilt is lovely! Personally, I like bindings that are cut on the bias or even pieced like your piano keys effect.

I think this quilt would be fantastic with just your black border, and bound with your multistripes...........
