I would add one border of the dark fabric used in the 9 patches, cut so it will finish the same width as the size of the 9 patch squares. Then I would audition bindings. Maybe use the dark fabric for binding too. If you need to add a 2nd border to make the quilt bigger, I would choose one of the green, blue or gold fabrics.

Beautiful quilt. Wonderful example of fabrics making the quilt.

That is so pretty!!!

What in the world are the plain (not plain at all!) blocks made with? Are those motifs in the batik fabrics? or did you paint them yourself, or applique???

love it ! what pattern did you use? Did you fussy cut your square blocks ? As to you request for borders, I agree with the dark border and then would consider using 4-patches of all of your 9-patch blocks (does that make sense?) for the outermost border and bind in black. But you did marvelously with this quilt - you should make the decision !
