Oooooohhh - drooling - love it love it! Border, agree - a little dash of red and a big splash of either dark or light, which ever you want to pull out of the blocks.

Do you want to do simple strips, or do you want to do something like a ribbon effect? A nice collection of borders:

I was thinking of the 'curling ribbon' with your quilt ...

I'd choose red. It will give it a dramatic effect. Very nice job on this.

i also immediately thought of red...

it will bring out the little bit from the flowers/what not that is already peeking out of your current choice of fabrics...

they are gorgeous fabrics by the by...and a beautiful pattern...

cant wait to see it finished

I think any bright color would look good like a neon green or pink. I like the black and white prints, it is going to be a beautiful quilt when you get it finished.
