Default Which border arrangement?
I am having a heck of a time choosing borders on this quilt. I just cut off a 6" brown border that was not working, and now I just don't know, nothing seems right. Suggestions? The pics are from my phone, they are a dark and medium blue, not sure how they are showing.

I really like the first option. The dark, smaller border frames it nicely.

I prefer the first one too. The darker fabric frames the squares beautifully. In the second one, the medium fabric is too similar to the squares and seems to suck the life out of them. Beautiful quilt top!
