That looks great!
I think if you want a subtle border that you don't notice, you should use white to match your squares. Otherwise, do something fun and use strips of your batiks to make a scrappy border. Or if you have a "main" color in your room or your sheets are a certain color then use that to tie the quilt in to your decor.
This quilt has so many possibilities!

on a quilt like this that has several fabrics and colors, I sometimes like to take my left-over "scraps" from that quilt and cut them in random lengths, 2 1/2 or 2 3/4 wide and piece them at random to make one strip the required length for the binding. It saves having a separate fabric for the binding and really pulls the whole piece together. It really does look nice, especially if your backing is a solid color or tonal.
