Gooooorgeous! If it was me, Iwould go for the black border, as your jewel tones would really pop. If this quilt needs to visit someone, it can come to my place....hee hee hee!
Awesome job! :thumbup:

I think just a black border would look very nice.

I like a black frame. But it will be beautiful however you do it.

I agree it should be a thin border, followed by either a wider black border with black binding or ending it with the thin strip. To do anything else would truly rob the quilt of its beauty and you have done a beautiful job on this. Inspiration for my next string quilt for sure. I did a random one but love your same-color idea; just beautiful!!

I'd use a fairly narrow black border and binding, but with little tiny blocks of color scattered randomly, say a cluster of them at every place where you would be piecing the border fabric.

Beautiful colors!!! Maybe use a small black border
with a black binding. That would just frame those
beautiful colors and not take away from them.
