That's a pretty big undertaking for your first quilt. It's lovely & you've done a great job. "Stippling" is done by hand or machine. Is the corner of the border your concern? You could place a square "cornerstone" in the corners or possibly 'top stitch' a small strip of the white fabric to complete the crossover in the corner. Or, love it & move on to #2 quilt. :-)

I do CC (continous curve) around the colored triangles to add to the movement of the design. Maybe echo inside the dark blue triangles. Not sure on the borders at the moment.

What a lovely quilt! You have done really well for a first timer. The border may not be to your liking but I think that it is fine.
As for stipling, it is usually done on the machine though I can't see why you can't hand sew it? Maybe someone else on Quilting board can advise. I agree that that would be a nice quilting pattern to have. I have included 2 links for you:

Your quilt is absolutely beautiful. Do you have enough fabric left to add to the borders so you could mitre them? I think an allover stipple would be nice or maybe concentric circles. Job well done.!
