    To everyone My DH and I would like to say thanks for all your wonderful comments and encouragement while I have been working on this. This is going to be my first completed quilt. I have a few UFO's that have not been finished yet.

    I had thought about a narrow black border, followed by a piano key border of the colors alternated with black, and then a wide black border.[/quote]

    that is what I would do.

    I love your quilt top...as well as your quote(Disabled does not mean unable.) I have a severe hearing loss, and some people equate "deaf" with "dumb"...their loss as I am by no means "dumb"...ok...maybe a little wacky around the edges...lol...

    Truly stunning! I agree! Go with a narrowish black border!

    WOW..this is awesome. I would definitely use black as border. Maybe the width of 2 or 3 strips (same width as all the other strips). You did a beautiful job.

    Oh, also meant to say bind in black as well. :)
