Both colors. If you use only blue or only gray it would not pop out.

The Carpenter Star is mine. Your Labyrinth looks like it would like a ribbon border. quilterscache has a section of just borders.
To answer your question, I'd do a narrow border of deep chocolate or navy, then something incorporating both colors. 2 1/2" brown, followed by a 3 1/2" blue and bound in the dark or any two color pattern like the piano keys or ribbon. A three color braid would do. Blue/brown/white. |

I want to thank everyone...and after auditioning several of the suggestions I opted for the narrow blue and the wider brown...hope i like it when it's done! :-)

Look forward to seeing the finished quilt. The blue will add a 'lift' to the quilt while the brown will probably 'mute' it. Depends on what effect you want but personally, I would like to 'lift' it and go for a bright colour. I would actually use either the blue, yellow, orange or even a red thin border then a thicker brown/blue whichever I'd prefer and finish it off with the earlier border colour that I chose. Then again, it is your creation and you must choose what you like; no matter what, it is still a beautiful quilt. Best wishes.
