It's a gorgeous quilt. I'd use a white or, like ckcowl suggested, a light color matching one of your favorite colors used.

The difficulty lies in the amount of patience it takes to piece so many tiny blocks! Kudos to the O.P. for her beautiful creation!

Peckish ... take a look ... it's not a regular Shoo Fly. as it has the little on point squares sitting inside the block to give more intricacy.

I don't think I would put any border on it.

First of all, whoa is it beautiful. I would stick with anything that doesn't detract from all the beautiful piecework. I'm voting for a white border as well.

Do you need it to be a larger size? If not I would just put a binding on it. It is very striking with all the colors as is.

I too think the piano key boarder is too heavy. I would have a small WHITE boarder then prairie points (the kind where you fold them) of all the fabrics you have left over or from your stash, and then a larger White boarder>

I would have a solid border. It would really make all of your hard work stand out. Beautiful job.

Beautiful! I don't think a piano key border would work as the quilt is very (beautifully) busy as it is. I would consider a darker turquoise border about the size of your HSTs, followed by a white border. You have done a fabulous job!
