Border or no border?

Border or no border?
This will be a wall hanging. From a few yards of fabric I had that I didn’t know what to do with, so I made a OBW.
1: No border, black binding
2: Small black border with black binding
3: Small black border with leftover fabric as binding.
4: No border with leftover fabric as binding.

I would use a small black border(only an inch) to set off the flowers and then you can use any color that blends for a wider border. Beautiful wall hanging but definitely needs a finishing touch. (a free opinion!)

I'm in agreement with everyone about a black border. It sets off the colors in the obw best. I'd hold up different widths to see what looks best, but probably 2" or 3". I think anything wider would overwhelm the quilt. It's beautiful. I often do a border with a facing rather than binding, too.
