I chose the narrow border, the wide border and sewed the piano key yardage which I sliced into 5" strips. I was using up all of the leftovers so I couldn't make it any wider. I have a few strips leftover which I'll sew into a smaller section to sew in at a couple random spots in the wide border. The narrow border will go all around the triangle section and also at the outside edge of the piano key border. I had only intended on putting the wide border on the 2 sides but I may change my mind and put it all the way around. I like to design as I go. If I knew exactly what it was going to look like I wouldn't have any incentive to make it. The triangle section is 54" x 60" so my decision on the border will based on the size I decide it should end up plus the visual appeal. Part of the backing will be the same print as the wide border but with a red background.

Looks great. I like the idea of the piano keys on all sides. Chris
This looks great...as well as soft and cuddly. The piano key border at the ends make a great extension for size and just 2 sides gives good visual appeal. either way it will turn out great.
love this piece! I recognize some of those flannels. There's nothing as warm as a flannel quilt and your colors and design are beautiful.
I love the look of this quilt.
Your statement, if I know what it is going to look like, I have no incentive to make it is so true. Designing as you go is so much more engaging
That looks really nice. It has such warm colors in it too.
I like the colors you chose for the borders!
I like to design as I go, too. Part of the fun is the "what if I do this?" portion of designing.
Your flannel quilt looks so cozy!
I am still a new quilter but I prefer designing as I go too!
I am really liking how this one is progressing. And "design as I go" does sound a lot better than what I know I do - which is muddling. LOL
For some reason I see animal prints when I glance at this. I like the colors, quite subdued for you though.
I too like to create as I go. It is more exciting during the process that way.
I love the moose 'n bear print ! Why wouldn't I ? I REALLY like the photo you posted today... piano key border top and bottom and Montana print on the sides!
Will be anxious to view your final design. I know I will love what ever you do.
And thank you for the Kringla recipes... printed them out soon as I saw it. I will wait a few weeks before I go into cookie production again.

The piano keys are a great idea. It's so much fun to see you make it up as you go! This is going to be a soft, warm, cozy, "cuddle" quilt!
