    I love strip piecing and this is a beautiful job. I like the piano key border but just black is nice as well. I am not much help but either way will be stunning.

    I saw on here once someone took adding machine paper to pieced the small strips to. It was quick and easy, and it looked great. It will go very quickly. I like the border, and bind it in black. Awesome.

    Beautiful, I think it looks like a stained glass window.

    wouldn't use the piano key border...like you said...too much. I like your idea about the borders.

    What a beautiful quilt, I like just the black borders, they accent the quilt better.

    I like the piano key border but I do think a plain border would bring out the blocks better and not take away from the quilt
