I'm usually not a border person, but I think this quilt is calling for one :)

ZI agree, a border would make it complete.

I love your quilt, colours are so nice, and I would put a border on I think.

I'd chose one of the mid to darker tones for an inner border and a lighter one for the outer border, then either the same as inner or another similar tone for binding. JMHO :)
My two cents, I agree with katier825.
Lay out some fabrics and audition them. It helps to decide.
