Default Border advice on this Irish Sunbonnet Sue Please?

Hello All. I picked this quilt back up this week after a few months away from it. I have it ready to complete the handwork on the border when I'm away from my machine next week. But, I need some opinions, advice, suggestions, whatever on a final outside border. Currently the quilt is 87" x 87". The irish chain is a mix of reproduction and vintage fabrics. The Sue blocks are vintage with some currenty embroidery added by me to finish them off. This will be a family heirloom as the sue where from my husband's grandmother's collection. So, here are a few ideas, but I am not limited to these. What do you think? Any advice or opinions appreciated. Here's the quilt......

Here's a partial pieced border. Should I continue with it?

A solid border? doesn't have to be yellow.

A printed border...doesn't have to be purple?

Or, no further border at all, other than binding?
