I think a dark blue border would look lovely, then I might bind in the same dark blue, or go back to the burgundy.

Linda, that's such a pretty quilt!!
I just did a King log cabin and had a lot of leftover fabric so I pieced the binding and I love the way it came out! Just a thought.
Don't know what to tell you about a border. I love it as it is.

I would do a burgundy / blue flange type binding where the blue forms the flange.

I agree with Rob, burgundy binding with no border.

I would vote for the burgundy also.

I guess I'm a "border quilter" as I like the framing it does for the flimsy. Have you considered a narrow first border (maybe one of the blues) and then piano keys with the rest of the fabrics used in the flimsy? Would it be too busy? Love the colors you have used in this. The sashing is extra special.
