Your quilt is fabulous. I think it has a modern feel to it so I would not put a border on but just bind it. I agree with MaryKatherine about weight helping them to hang better. I find poly battings too light for wall hangings unless they are doubled up with something. W&N tends to quilt up pretty stiff if you lay down enough thread on it which is ideal for a wallhanging. That would be my choice but only if I was going to quilt this pretty heavily. If you wash in cold water and dry flat you shouldn't get any crinkling.
As far as quilting I would go with a very light weight thread, like invisifil or silk. This way the thread won't interfere with your gorgeous hand dyes. I would go with a light gray, mossy gray/green or nude color. Both silk and invisifil tend to sink in and reflect whatever color they are laying on so it shouldn't take away from your striking graphic design in the piecing.
If I had a chance to sink my teeth into this I would quilt graphic straight line accents like ghost quilting of the squares on point in the colored areas. I would do heavy background fill to get those ghost squares to pop up, ala Green Fairy style of quilting. I would leave the QST in gray and white unquilted but SID around them and maybe even in the triangle units that form the squares.
The top is gorgeous. Amazing what precise, careful piecing and beautiful fabric will do for a relatively simple pattern. Very well done.
