what about a strip of black or cream to seperate the quilt from the border, it will really make the quilt pop

Either the first or the second, depending on which you prefer.

The dark belongs on the outside to frame the whole quilt.
Against the main quilt, it looks like the coloured borders are after thoughts! Of course, JIMHO!!

What a pretty quilt! I like the brown as the outer border...can't decide which I like best of the other two. Both look good.
