help!opinions for border

I don't like the white because it's visually too "light-weight"compared to the "heaviness" of the darker colors.
What about taking the top, finding a gray to make a narrower border, then add your black.
Beautiful quilt!

I too like the narrow white with wider black, one thing I would add to give the white added strength would be a red or gray flange either first or between the white and black. Beautiful quilt top!!!

I agree with 117becca that the white is too stark to really go well with the rest of the quilt. I do love the colors in the quilt and would like to see you continue to use the tones you have going so if it were me I would find a grey and use that as the inner border and then the black. I think using a small binding of red would really set it off nicely and pull out that bit of pop to the outer edge also.

I would use the red swirl fabric in the quilt for a border the size you want. The quilt pattern will float and not look like a border was added just to make it bigger. I like the colors you choose for that pattern. Very nice.
