I vote for the black polka dot fabric too.

On each corner, there is one of the corner 4-patch fabrics that do not touch the edge; if you use one of those that touch the edge, your border will blend into that patch; that includes the polka dot, the pink, gold, etc., etc., but you have nice dark plum/burgundy fabric in the strippy border that I don't see anywhere in the corner 4-patches. Do you have enough of that for your final border? Sometimes I'm "into" doing the binding in the same fabric as the final border, rather than adding 2 more colors (one for border, one for binding).

I would do what you did on the center section, the small pieced border then a polka dot on the outside. I know you said only one more, but it would make it match up.

I think it's beautiful and I think you'll love it when it's quilted. Love the border you've got on now.

You are right!! That dark burgundy is nowhere else. Don't quite know how it even got in there. Maybe I should do some smaller four patches around that last border and I could include some of that color?
