    I would go crazy and do a black border with a twisted "film" appliqued on it.

    I would put a small stop border in white and a finishing border of 4-6 inches in black. More colors on the edges might take away from the fabulous colors in the quilt. Beautiful quilt, by the way!

    He's going to love it.

    It's beautiful as is. I don't think I'd add a thing.

    I'd like to say THANK YOU to all of you who helped me with the border color. I tried so many fabrics from my stash and not a one of them jumped out at me, so I just left it alone and started the quilting.
    My son came home from school yesterday and said he just loved it and wanted to know if it'd be done today (meaning yesterday). I just looked at him with a stupified look and before I could say anything, he said I guess not. *LOL*
    So as soon as I get it binded up I'll post another picture of it.

    I did go ahead and do the denim on the back and really it wasn't a problem. It's a lighter weight denim so it worked really well. Thank goodness he didn't pick out jean fabric.

    Some of ya'll send links to some awesome fabric... Thank you for taking the time to do that. If I make him another one, I'll be using that one with the movie theme for sure.

    Thank you all again :-)

    I'd make a thin 1" or so border and then use a wiser Black border.

    GREAT Quilt!! You're son will be sooo proud of it and Mom.
