    Beautiful, I wouldn't use black, you already have alot of that in your quilt. Go with a variety of the bright colors already in your quilt. It's an awesome quilt.

    I like the black and color squares for a border. Your quilt looks great!

    Your quilt is brilliant in colors, especially with the sun shing on it.

    I agree with Katier about the borders and when looking at your quilt colors I think the darker of the greens would be a good color to put between the two black borders.
