    I agree either a narrow navy border or no border at all. I am not sure that I would like a black border on it.

    White for a frame and navy for binding. It's a beautiful quilt.

    it depends on the look you like. the blue 'border' with the blocks carried to it is very interesting. the black border will contain everything into the center of the quilt.

    Lovely quilt. If you like it and it's the right size, then there's no reason to add a border.

    I think I'd go with a navy border. I think the black would look like it came out of nowhere, since there isn't black in the quilt. Your quilt is beautiful, by the way.
