I like the way a mitered border looks on a quilt, but that's just my preference... (I'm still trying to figure out how to even sew one on myself) but I think if you use your teals and sew a mitered border on it, the quilt would "pop".

My LQS should get the credit for the fabric selection...I was clueless when I started this but they were very helpful. But thank you!

I'd either use a scrappy border of all the colors except tan, or leave the border off and use a scrappy binding.
Thank you so much for sharing this.

I would definitely do two borders. I would start with a dark green or brown and then the bright teal. I would use a tone on tone or batik. But that is just what I would do, you should lay a few different things out and see what pleases you.
