Should I just add a black border and keep it simple or I was thinking of taking the strings and going around the top to follow the color wheel or does anyone have a different option?

If I were feeling frisky with this quilt, I would put two back borders with strings in the middle. I am doing that for a string block silk tie quilt. I use doodle paper & it is 11" so I cut 3" off and use that for the border. I'm hoping it looks as delicious as your quilt!

I'm including the quilt with the borders I am most proud of. My friend is S. African and travels a lot. She was at my house when this set of fabrics came and she LOVED them. So she recently had gotten remarried and I wanted something special, so this was it. When I got to the borders I had 1 yd of the focal fabric and little left of the border fabric. So I fussy cut the focal and attached the borders with that. I love how it turned out. I felt so creative!!!
I love these borders

First off, it's a beautiful quilt! I would put a narrow black border to give the eye someplace to rest, then use one or two of the colors you used in the quilt.
Looking forward to seeing it when it's done.
