I would go for either no border or a border using a single color from the quilt (as tjradj suggested). Anything else would distract from your gorgeous quilt!

I vote for no borders. The quilt is gorgeous and the binding will frame it nicely.

Beautiful! I was one of those who said no borders--and now I see how much more beautiful you made it with the borders you put on--carried the theme of the quilt right out to the edges!
