Beautiful quilt! It's lovely just as it is but a black border would like nice, too. If you mitered the corners it would look like a window frame. Not sure you're going for that so just a suggestion.

As narrow as the last black is, I'd think the binding will make it look even smaller. As much as I hate taking anything apart, I'd suggest taking that off and making a wider border of the black with your black binding. This is beautiful!
Added thought--do you have narrow pieces that you could make a skinny strip as a first border similar to the body of the quilt and then add a wider black border? You wouldn't have to take off what is already there. That might throw off your design though. But I'd go for a wider border as a "frame" of sorts

What do you think? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
