My 2 cents worth: The borders are pretty the way you have them. The colors you chose are perfect. Your instinct about not adding the print border is right. When I look at the quilt as you have it, the borders frame and compliment the print in the center panel. However, with the same print border added, my eye is drawn to it instead of being drawn to the center panel. Final thought: Do whatever is attractive to YOU, because you'll have to look at the quilt for a long time while you're completing it.
