    I like the border suggestion on the left, with the colored squares. Beautiful quilt!

    I think the film strip border ( the one on the left) will finish your quilt. It gives the center a chance to stop but not leave a total blackout. Beautifully done. Charlie

    Your quilt is beautiful, I like the boarder with the small squares best. Can't wait to see it when you have it all pieced together.

    What a great quilt! I love the little blocks border, although I know it means more work. Thet will set the whole quilt off nicely!

    Wow that is beautiful. I think a black border would really look good or even the one you have on the left.

    I suggest the rectangles, since it mimics the strips in the blocks. The squares look more choppy to me.
