    I have already found that the black pieces on the front are in constant need of a lintbrush to get off all the dog hair which floats around my house. When I get this baby done......it'll be awhile before I work with anymore black or fluorescent colors! I see some nice serene/peaceful pastels in my future! LOL

    I would choose either the sayings or the peace sign.

    Your quilt is fantastic, I have been waiting for you to post it again. I like the black border with either the multi-colored fabric(no words on it) or the peace signs as the second border. It seems that the one with writing is too distracting. Either way you go the quilt is going to be stunning. What a lucky daughter.

    The black border with the peace sign fabric as the second border catches my eye. For the back, you could use one of the pieces as the center and the other as the border for it. It will be a striking quilt when you are finished, no matter what you decide for borders and backing. Lovely work!

    I like the black with peace signs the best, but then again my daughter is infatuated with peace signs right now so that is what sticks out the most to me. You have done an awesome job with this quilt!

    Try just black because it stops the colors and frames your awesome work.

    I would piece the back, green on one side and purple on the other. Less seems to have to quilt through.

    I like the 1st choice. Narrow black border. Wider multi-color
    border. Bind in the black. This multi-color print brings out all the colors of the pieced blocks, but does not over power the main blocks of the quilt.

    I agree - the peace sign or the 1rst one pictured. They both seem to set it off nicely. Beautiful quilt !!!

    I'd go with the peace fabric It just seems to go so well with the rest of your beautiful quilt. I like your idea of a centre square on the back with sashings around it.
