That is exactly what I did with mine a while back. I was going to suggest this, but I didn't... You must have read my mind.

Heres a pic of mine without sashings.

I think it looks nice. The light inner boarder frames all the different fabrics that you used. You did good. Now with the boarder it really pops.

jlong 08-04-2011 11:21 AM

I love it! It's beautiful. :-D

Lots of work in this one, nice job!

Foxflower 08-04-2011 11:22 AM

Definitely NOT ugly. It's a really nice scrappy strippy quilt. Good job.

That piano key border is the perfect addition.

hperttula123 08-04-2011 11:26 AM

beautiful!!!

QuiltnCowgirl 08-04-2011 11:27 AM

Bind it in your yellow & voila! the finishing touch! I think it is turning out to be beautiful - like a beautiful butterfly from a caterpillar.

RkayD 08-04-2011 11:29 AM

Looks beautiful! Bind it in the blue to pull it all together. =)

Perfect border!

charismah 08-04-2011 12:53 PM

I love it! Of course I really like yellow....But I would say to use a darker colored binding. That will frame it all in....
Beautiful quilt.
