I like the gray border idea; then bind pull out one of the colors to bind it with. Nice quilt!

I totally agree...and the quilt is lovely. The jewel tones are fabulous!

Black would work but does not need a border. Beautiful!

I would use a plain black border 3 to 4 inches wide.

Black border and piano key outer border. Can piece the piano key border on adding machine tape (3 inch) or if you want it wider piece on newsprint or telephone book pages.Love the colors!
