the first thought that came to my mind was the piano key border also - using all the colors in the quilt. WOW, you did a fantastic job! Love it! :)

Exactly my thoughts, or if not enough fabric, a striped binding cut on the bias would look funky too.

First of all--I WANT THIS QUILT! How cute! Secondly, if you need to make it bigger, by all means border it. However, the truth is, it looks great just as it is :thumbup:

It already kinda has its own border...its just the same color and width as the sashing. I'd leave it. It looks fantastic!

I love the quilt! With or without an additional border it's beautiful. I liked the suggestion of the piano key border with all the different colors of the fabrics that you had you used it the quilt.
