Very striking quilt! I like the border with the individual squares. That would really pull out the colors, in my opinion.

Thanks for looking,

OMGosh Robyn, that is beautiful and now I showed it to my daughter and she said "oh mom please please please can I have one of those?"
So now you have inspired me!!!! I love the border on the left. I can't wait to see it completely finished.

I like the border on the left with the black and the small squares of color. It frames the quilt nicely without overpowering it. Just my novice opinion.

And by the way, that is a beautiful quilt.

Black seems to be your focus fabric, but I think a black border would tend to blur the lines. I'd use one of the brighter colors in the blocks, maybe the one you used for the block center? I don't have the pic up of course and my memory is not real good!
