I think cornerstones would look great, but if you don't want to do that, just plain black will look good, as well. At any rate, it's going to be a gorgeous quilt.

Great quilt! I love your mitered corners! I vote for one long black strip. I think cornerstone would detract from the blocks. You need to have somewhere for your eyes to rest. Great work!

You are doing a great job. IMHO, cornerstones make it easier to get it all lined up exactly, but I would use solid color corner stones with the various colors of your wonderful blocks.

I have to agree

I would also keep it all black, that way the blocks pop

Corner stones do make it easier to line sashing up....but I think they may detract from your beautiful blocks!

You have a striking quilt

I'd use cornerstones in one of those bright popping colors....it'd really set it off. But, hey, it's your quilt and you are the ultimate decision maker. I see so many of us gave our opinions...good luck and let us see the final result.
