I like the way you used the fabric to make the chevrons. Very pretty and intricate. Makes the blocks look very detailed and like they took forever to make. Very nice work.
As for the border, if it looks one way by looking at it, and another with a picture, only you can decide which to use. I would likely use what looks good to the eye as looking at a picture isn't going to help when the quilt is in your hands or right in front of you. But that decision is yours. Trust your own judgement. You'll do fine.
