I'd chose one of the mid to darker tones for an inner border and a lighter one for the outer border, then either the same as inner or another similar tone for binding. JMHO :)

Lay out some fabrics and audition them. It helps to decide.
I agree. Your compasses are beautiful and a border will frame them.
