Love it, so cute! I like it as is, but for me, it would depend on the wall I was going to hang it on. If it's a light colored wall, stay with the black, if it's a darker colored wall, I would bind it with the background fabric or the stripes.

I usually face my wall hangings and let the design of the wall hanging go all the way to the edge. This is different than birthing where you sew right sides together and then turn then quilt. With facing you quilt as you would with a binding but then as a last step put on a facing instead of a binding. There are a number of methods to do it but here is a tutorial to give you an idea. http://thesillyboodilly.blogspot.com...y-to-face.html

black so the umbrellas are the focus--don't quilt on the umbrellas, maybe a "wood grain" on the black frame (check Leah Day's website to see how to do that) and then "raindrops" or wavey lines to look like water on the background. Lovely wall hanging and I like your idea of using a stiffer"bat"
