If it were mine, I'd put a dark narrow border (like 1 1/2"), then go the opposite direction for a final border, maybe the "right" shade of yellow/gold. For my quilts, I need a place for the eye to rest.

I think borders add a finishing touch, like a picture frame, but I cannot imagine what border I would use on this. You don't want to detract from the image you have created. It is beautiful.
