    I agree, sometimes less is more.

    Lately I have incorporated grey in my quilts and it goes well so for a quilt like yours I would put a grey narrow border then followed with a piano border of all the other colors

    That is what I immediately thought. The white will give space between the other colors.

    If not, it's a quilt, that to me, would look great finished without a border, and simply bound.

    If you want the quilt larger, I would skip the border, and just add more of the same mix of blocks.
    Then bind as above.

    Good Luck!
    I agree. I'd like it just bound in black. No borders
