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 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.
