Any suggestions on a border? Thanks for looking.

Do you have a particular person or bedroom in mind? If you do, I think I'd use a batik the color that best suits that person or room. OTH, if you could find yardage in a similar black batik, that would always work. OR maybe just construct a band of left over batiks for the outer border.

LOVE your quilt colors, fabric and the pattern you chose. Batik is my fabric of choice.

I love it! I don't know about adding a border. I might just bind it in black and call it beautifully done.

Very nice, I was thinking a black border with a small ribbon of orange near the top or bottom third of the black.
