Choice #2 would be my favorite...

I like #3

I like #2. I think #3 is too busy and #1 looks a bit washed out. Besides, you like the rust the best and it is your quilt. I would bind it in the solid rust that you have in some of the blocks.

I like the 2nd one best! Very pretty quilt!

Love #2. Pretty quilt.

I like the rust best too. That's a pretty wide (IMHO) border to be just one strip. Try a combo border with finished 1" cream, 2" green, 1" cream, and 4 or 6" rust.

Need a strong color to contain the quilt colors before the border. It could be 2" wide, though mine are usually under an inch. Then I like the rust. You could then add another strip of your strong color, then a wide binding in the rust.

Such a pretty quilt!
