I think I would put a narrow black, white, or pale yellow border on first to really make the center pop but that's just me. Beautiful job.

What do you think of adding a yellow or green small border? It also looks very nice the way it is.

Yes, this is gorgeous! And then either red or blue for binding to finish it all off.

That large of an outer border fights with the inner blocks. I think a solid border would work, even if you chose to add two outer solid borders.

I like the border. I would either mitered the corners or use cornerstones.

I think it is a great boder; but I would probably add a thin inner border to separate the center from the border a bit.
