I prefer the second view you have shown us because I feel it better reflects the design within the quilt. It's going to be quite wonderful when you finish!

I like the original quilt the best. The borders you've suggested are just to busy for me. In border #2 picture, take the fabric you've made the triangles with and just make solid run around the quilt, then finish it off with the narrow rust border you've got laid out.

That is an absolutely gorgeous quilt! I agree with the others that option #2 would look best to me. I have also learned something from the comments of other quilters. Really though, I like it the way it is, and think it is stunning.

It might probably be more correct to say a border CAN BE a place to rest your eyes...... Actually, appraisers will tell you that the more pieced borders a quilts has - if they are complimentary to the main body of the quilt - the more value the quilt may have.
