    I agree with Barb. #2 because my focus went to the blocks in the center instead of getting distracted by the other patterns on the outside. Beautiful blocks!! This is going to be gorgeous!

    I like #2 the best. The little stars around the outer edges really add interest.

    #1 is more calm. #4 is more dramatic. I like #4.

    My vote is for #2 for the same reason others have stated.

    All of the choices are very busy and detract from the complex block. This seems to be a trend among popular designers at the moment. I would choose narrower and simpler sashing. Faster and easier too!

    Before I say anything, they all would look fine. The blocks and your color choice are perfect!! Big question.... do you have a favorite?

    For me - I like #4 the best and here is my reasoning The 9 patch border in #1, for me, is blah. In #2 my eye wants to look away from those gorgeous large blocks in the center to look at the border blocks, #3 - imho looks busy, #4 I like because I like that the blocks the blocks that draw my attention are all in the center and the subtle nine patch around the edges finishes up the quilt nicely and does not compete with the center.

    I like #4, for same reason above. It lets the central blocks stand out.
