I would do a narrow (about an 1") black border or a piping in black and then do a dark pink like the color of the flowers in the blue fabric with the bird on it. I love doing that little accent with a piping before adding a border. If you need more info on how I do mine you can p.m. me and I will let you know.

I'd go with a soft lavender or pink border with a black or dark green outside border

Narrow black to contain and tone it down...Then maybe a plain border.

I agree, or use the black with the white music items on it. A thin border. Then pop it with a wide border of color.

I really like Ripped on Scotch's idea of a narrow (1/2") Black inner border and then the purple outer border, but pink or green would work also.

I love the colors in your quilt, but don't have an idea about a border. I would audition different fabrics until I found a good blend.
