I love it. So bright and vibrant. I would go with a plain border.

I so want your quilt!!!! I would have not even noticed the oops block if you hadn't mentioned it.
How about if you put a black boreder then a white then another black one. Whatever you decide will be perfect.

A black border and end it there. Maybe no border at all? I also tend to black and then white as dreamboat suggested. No pieced border--would take away from the inside blocks and make it busier.

I agree. But be sure and make a inner border in black and then add the piano keys as your outer border.

I agree. It would frame it so beautifully!! Love the eye-popping colors!!
