I would do a thinner white border followed by a blue. It's very nice! Great job!

An empty scrap bin.....NO WAY! (It won't last long, believe me).

Don't know about the border, so many colors stand out.

I think any border in red or black would be great. Love your quilt.

I vote for red! That was the first thing that caught my eye when I saw it. I think it would really make it pop with that red border. Whatever you choose it will be just as beautiful as it is now though!

Your quilt is wonderful. I like the idea of using two borders maybe 2" white and then 5" dark (black, blue, purple)

There are so many beautiful colors in the quilt! How about doing a simple, thin white border and then a piano keys border on the outside, using up the same scraps in the quilt?

I agree, a thin white border to frame it and then a wider border of whatever color calls to you. I even like the idea of the piano key border in all the scraps (if you have any left).
