I wouldn't worry about borders until your sure how your main part will be.

no I don't have the book , was just thinking on my own since I really like my layout and don't want to have to move it around if I cut more. then I got to thinking about black?? still not sure yet. I did buy the rest of the fabric that the store had so that I could add borders. I will have to try laying both down to see what I like. well off to bed have to be up early to go to a class with DH and then off to the SHOP HOP!!!!!

I agree with knlsmith, use the original fabric to fill in. If you don't have enough of the original, a solid color found in the the hexs. Either way it would give a modern, avant garde feel to the quilt.

If you want to do a black border, I think that will look grand, but add one or two narrow borders of yellow and/ or pink or green inside the black border. That will pull those colors out to the edge of your quilt and help make your eyes move around the whole thing.
