I wouldn't go black. I think you'd lose the flowers in the busy-ness of the red-black-white prints if you do that. I'd either go with an electric/bright blue blanket stitch on them all to really make them pop or I'd stitch them all in a matching color to each piece.
Love your quilt! And a green chevron outer border is cute if you want to add one.

I think black would overpower your applique pieces. I would like the idea of darker values of the flowers and leaves. There is a lot of black in the body of the quilt. Please show us what you decide because you have gotten a full spectrum of opinion.
