Default Parquet Quilt - needs border input

I am about to finish up this Positively Parquet quilt, by UCan2, and can't decide the borders. The pattern calls for the 6" border with 6" squares, but I am kind of partial to the 3" border. What do you think?

I, too, like the smaller border with no squares in the corners. This is a beautiful quilt. Thank you for sharing.

I don't like the bigger border. The smaller one is just right.

I also like the narrower border. It seems to emphasize the energy of the quilt. Beautiful quilt!

I like the smaller border! it seems more in scale with the rest of the quilt. I think te bigger reads as too much solid .

I like both borders about the same. Nice job on your quilt.
