I would put a solid colored sashing all around the pieced part of the quilt--I think it would set off the border fabric, which I really like. I'm thinking maybe a navy blue.?

I like that the pieced center seems to float above the border. Its beautiful. Love it!

Maybe not enough contrast? Still very pretty, though.

I really like your quilt as it is, but agree that the print border seems somehow disconnected to the bold and beautiful drunkards path you have created.

My suggestion is to try various widths of dark and light inner borders to see which creates the look you want. Then go with it!
