I like the green border with a rust edge, but I AM partial to green.

That would be my choice. I would use a narrow green, 2 to 3 inches, and then the rust 5 to 6 inches. I would probably use 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.

Exactly my thought. Along with "Beautiful quilt already!"

I also like 3, narrower on the white between the green and rust and add the extra to the rust. Beautiful quilt. Your are now probably more confused than ever. But however you finish it, it will be beautiful.

I like #2, especially if you like rust!

I love narrow borders first so I would use a 1" green and then how ever many inches you need of the rust. The green will set the quilt off from the rust which seems to be in a lot of the blocks. Good luck and post the completed quilt!
