I like the idea of the border but until you place the fabric next to the quilt to "try it on for size" and stand back will you really know whether you will like it or not. That is MY opinion. You have to do what you feel looks best. Beautiful work so far.

Think I'd bring out some of the darker tones by using the teal or dark pink. Audition a few, maybe even an orange or yellow.

I can't decide.... Usually, I'm very decisive and know right away which fabric or not I'll use. This time I could go either way. So, add a border or call it a day and quilt and bind it?

Yes, except honeybuns are 1 1/2" strips and Jelly Rolls are 2 1/2". They are harder (I think) to find uses for.
