For some unknown reason I had a desire to work on my version of the 2022 BOM from A Quilting Life. I worked on it at the beginning of February and had a lot of design decisions to make. That is the point at which a quilt can easily start inching into the UFO closet.
But not this time!
Here are the 12 blocks sewn together with the sashing and the square in a square cornerstones.
I like how it turned out so far and am wondering if I should quilt and bind it with black. Or if it needs a black border first to give it more of an outside frame? What are your thoughts?
Linking up to Design Wall Monday at Judy's

I would add a frame of a border.. looks good there. Glad you save it from the UFO Closet.
what about a piano key border with alternating golds and black hjrogers@sympatico.ca
Rather than add another border you could bind it in black.
How about a narrow white border to give it a bit of space and then a black binding. Let the design shine; this is a very attractive quilt top.
I just love the cornerstones. It really gives a zip to the quilt. I'd go with a narrow black border and black binding. It's beautiful.
I like the black binding idea, personally.
This is absolutely stunning. I love the square in a square cornerstones. I also like Sherrill's idea of a small white border then binding in black.
Beautiful. I like the frames around each block, they really draw the eye in.
I wouldn't quilt it in black, that would muddy the contrast you have between light and black. Very attractive quilt.
This is a beauty, Kathy. Looking forward to seeing what you decide on the border and binding.
I like this quilt! I'd bind it in black. I don't think it needs anything else.
This is a great quilt, such a manageable size. I think the golds used in the blocks need to brought out to the edge so perhaps a narrow-ish border, say 1.5" finished, cut to random lengths and then a black binding.
What a fabulous finish! I love how you sashed each block. Brilliant! And yay for not putting this back in the UFO pile!
Great job, Kathy! Love, love, love your square-in-a-square cornerstones. Fabulous! I love the idea of a black border. Followed by black binding or a gold one? Hmmm. Not sure. I'm sure you will find something fabulous. ;^)
Love the layout of this quilt. I think if you want to make it larger then yes another border. But I think that just binding in black would be good. I also think quilting in black might over whelm the quilt...maybe a colour to match the background(grey+)
I would do a black binding and quilt in a gold. For me black quilting would be too heavy
