    They both are pretty but I think the linen look border really makes the quilt look more sophisticated vs country.

    I think I like the blue better. I like the contrast the blue against the tan epp and it helps the blue epp pieces pop in the quilt.

    I agree that the bottom choice is best, great quilt!

    I would go with the gold, and keep it more mellow.

    l guess i'm on the losing team. I prefer the blue. it allows the tan epp to show up and makes the colors pop. I think you will be very happy with either one! I admit it, I love borders!

    That is such a beautiful quilt. Good luck on your choice and please share when you are finished. I vote for the bottom one or a darker version of a fabric.

    Beautiful quilt! I like the tan border too. It seems to set off all the other colors nicely.
