Love your quilt! I'd start with a small light border. Then maybe find a multi-colored print that takes in many of the colors. Maybe something geometric or something like that. Something that would tie in the colors and frame the quilt.

I like a narrower - 1.5 inch finished of the white in your quilt and then an outside border. It like the piano key border. You could have corner blocks of the pinwheels in the 4 corners.
I also like finding a larger print that has the colors of the pinwheels in for something different.
Whatever you decide, use a color that is already in the pinwheels vs adding a new color in there.

I would definitely use a pale light colored (even the background color) border then the sky is the limit with what you put as the final border. I would also consider using a pinwheel cornerstone on the border. Great job.

I would put a narrow band of some color that is not in the outside blocks (I would go dark rather than light since it would make the blocks pop) to stop the pattern (white would continue the pattern for the white blades). Then I would do the piano keys around the outside.
