opinions needed, Irish Chain

I have the main blocks done, but now I'm trying to figure out how to finish the edge. In #1, the chain comes to a point, then the border. In #2, the border is the point of the chain. Remember this is just pinned to a design wall, nothing is sewn together. Thanks for looking.

I like #1 best. Looks great!

I would have a thin white strip before the 1st blue border. Are you going to miter the last border?

I like #1 the best; the design looks more "complete" instead of kind of cut off.

Hmmm. Hadn't thought of that. Will pin that to the wall and give it a look. Thanks. I haven't figured out what I'm doing in the corners of the final border. Mitering would be good.

I like #1. Would be interesting to experiment with the slender white border in several different positions, just to see what it looks like. Love you fabric choices. I have a blue Irish chain among my UFOs. Hope to complete it this year.

#1 - and would love to see what it would look like with the white strip, mitered corners would be a beautiful finish. You are going to have one beautiful quilt!!!

I like Number 1 and I think maybe a thin white border around the main part of the quilt then add the dark blue border.
