Definitely the black. It makes the browns pop.

I LOVE it! I agree with others, narrow black with polka dot brown on outer edge. Will be a standout!

Great suggestion - the dark inner border would give the eyes a place to rest and frame the quilt, then add the 4-5" polka dot or paisley. Lovely quilt!!
