As you can see, this Pineapple Blossom already has a pieced sashing.

I'm considering not even putting a border on it. If I do put a border on it, I'm just not sure what it should be - just strips or pieced borders - single or multiple borders. This is a pretty bright quilt already, so should the border be a "quiet" color/print, or should I stay with the theme and go bright. Or do I use a quiet inner border and a brighter outer border?
This is the other top. It's the third one I've made using the scrappy mountains pattern. I don't know how to finish this either. I'm thinking I might do a very thin black inner border, then use a autumn-toned batik fabric I've got as an outer border.

I was pretty smart last Spring and actually cut out enough 8.5" squares to make two tops in these colors. Here's the first one I made; you'll notice they're the same blocks, just a different setting.

Randy's Aunt Jean got this blue/green version to donate to the MS Auction in Spokane last October.

The pineapple blossom quilt is so alive with great colors. If you do sew on a border you sure don't want it to detract from this great pattern.
Good Job!
