Borders?

I've put the borders on my Year Quilt but I don't know whether it needs something more. Originally I had thought of wide black borders but it seemed too overpowering, so in a fit of indecision I put on a 2 1/2 inch border as a starting point. Now I'm wondering if it can stay like this, or whether it needs something else. And if so what?

Any ideas anyone?

    Because your sashing is narrow, I think the narrower border is right. You don't want to overwhelm the wonderful colors in the blocks. I think it's gorgeous as it is.

    I think it looks perfect as it is. Love to see a close up shot too. :)

    I think the border is the perfect size - it sets off the brilliant colours perfectly - it's a lovely quilt.
