This pretty as a picture quilt needs framing. What about using a 1 1/2" inner border of that dark purple pebbley squares fabric you are using first? That would give it a hint of movement in and out of the quilt where those on point hit just before the corners. Then a 2 1/2 - 3" final border of the tiny golden diagonal stuff if you have enough of that, turquoise if not.

Pretty little quilt just as it is. If you feel you need to make it larger with borders, pull a color from the quilt and use either a solid or a gentle print. If you plan to use two borders, I would use a solid one first to break up the busy from your beautiful center

It is a very lovely quilt. If you have any leftover fabric, I would auditions the fabrics that have been mentioned. I always enjoyed taking a top into my favorite quilt shop and having their employees help me pick out the borders. Other customers would also give their opinion. Good Luck !!
