More border candidates

I pulled out my boxes of black and white batik fabrics to audition some different pieces for the border of the quilt I showed yesterday. I did not intend to put on a border when I made it. The reason I am even trying a border is because I am still a little unhappy with the blacks and whites sprinkled in amongst the color and think it looks a little spotty. I thought maybe a black and white border would solidify the design. This is the positive leaf print that is in the wallhanging.
This is the negative leaf print.
Here are some strips that I cut for another project and didn't use. It is kind of like pebbles.

Here is a bigger zebra print, maybe a little overbearing. Oh and by the way I have at least 3 more sizes of zebra print too. This is another print that was used in the piecing of the blocks. I think it just brings your attention to that print in the center instead of unifying it.
About half of the commenters didn't care for the zebra print that I used yesterday, the other half thought it was perfect. Like Vicky F said in her comment, when you enlarge the picture by clicking on it, it doesn't look gray. In real life I think it looks more black and white than gray.


Any suggestions today? I love comments. All you have to remember is that I am the final judge of how it will be finished.
