I totally agree with the narrow yellow border then wider dark border. This is beautiful quilt.

I would go with the yellow & then the black, but that is me. You should do what you like best. Another thought is if you have more of the strip, then try the yellow, the strip & then the black. That would make it look like it is double framed.

I would do a narrow gold & then bind in the black (unless you need wider to increase size of quilt). Using just the black border kind of made it "moosh" into the pieced squares.

my backing will most likely be a gold paisley since I can't find any repro style fabric locally. |
That's a beautiful quilt. I like the dark that matches the outer row of dark squares. Like someone else said, it would basically disappear and the other on-point squares would look to be the edge. The on-point squares take the shape of larger squares all around the edge instead of emphasizing the "points", if you know what I mean. They would also look like the centers of the blocks in the quilt.

Love the quilt - I vote for the yellow border than the dark with dark binding.

That is a beautiful quilt. I love the narrow yellow and the wider black. Great job. Let us know what you decide.

Your pieced inner border is so pretty it deserves to be framed and seeing as you already have a thin gold on the inside I think framing it with another thin strip of the gold would look fantastic. It wouldn't distract from all your hard work in the body of the quilt but will help to draw the eye to all your hard work in the pieced inner border. Then rounded all out with a dark wider bit.
