They are both nice but I vote for the tan one.

Please post a picture of what you decide on. You mentioned using glue on the precuts, I use glue stick to baste the fabric to my cardboard so I don't need to hand baste. I have not had any problem with them popping off when I want them to. I am all for making short cuts and making things easier when possible.

I do like the tan one a lot but I think it may make some of your work disappear a bit as there is not much contrast with your outer pieced area.

Of the two, I like the tan. Do you have a bit deeper tan than that? I tend towards the dark.

Do you have enough of the blue that you used in the center of the small diamonds for the border? I think it might help things connect better than the first two choices.
It's a very beautiful quilt. You have a lot of work in it. It's not something I'm likely to tackle soon, if ever.

I like the blue, but its hard to really decide without seeing a pic of the whole top. Could you upload a pic of the whole top for us? I also agree with an earlier comment that it would be a good idea to audition all of the colors in the quilt that aren't tan or cream...maybe a green might be nice. It's beautiful so far!

Beautiful quilt. I think I'd go for t he beige border, as it seems to make your blocks stand out and shine.
