[I thought it was done when I first saw the picture. I think it looks great as is.

I like it as is. The border is the frame. The body is so special, why detract or compete with?

this is the quilt, the second picture is option-1 and the third picture is option-2
My vote is for Option #2..while both are wonderful, that just seems to fit better with your top..

I actually like it best without an additional border.

I agree. #2 seems to let top be focused on.

I like it the way it is but if it must be larger then use the second border. It is less distracting from the beautiful and intricate centre.

I like the second one. It does not distract from the body of the quilt. Either way it is beautiful.
