I don't think I would use it at all. Just the dark brown border.....JMHO :D
p.s....your second picture is much better!

I got the cream border on it and decided I like it just like this. I'll add a deep aqua border to make it pop!

Thanks everyone. I needed to noodle it through and I appreciate all the opinions.

I mean an aqua binding. No more borders. Or maybe a chocolate binding. I'm so fickle with my fabrics.

I think a inch border of the dark color you used in your quilt, then a three i8nch border of the material on the left of your quilt picture.

Yes, I prefer the narrow inner border of the light fabric before the darker for the outer border. It'll definately be a good break between the center and the darker border.
