Default Border suggestions?

I just finished these 9 blocks of a puzzle quilt. I am very pleased with it so far. It has 8 different colors of bandana print. (The blue and purple look the same in the picture though.)

I am trying to decide if it is too busy on the eyes. I could break the blocks up with a solid color sashing. Just thought of that. It certainly is colorful though!

But I really was wondering... ahead of myself, I know...what I might want for borders. I usually go with a smaller inner border and larger outer border. I have enough fabric of each color for an inner border and I have enough of the purple and the red for an outer border. All fabrics are still available yet too, so I could always buy some more.

Or maybe a solid colored border would look good?

Now, I know I need to just play around a bit, but I won't get back to this until Sunday, after our local Quilt Show, and I would appreciate different ideas that could play around in my head until I get back to it. What would you do for an inner and outer border?

Thanks for any of your thoughts!
