Me too, love the dark print.

Here is a lone voice for the narrow dark border, photo 3 I think. To me the black botanical print is too stark in contrast and diminishes the impact of your leaf. While that black print is beautiful, I also think that it does not match your other fabrics in "style and character". With the beautiful fabrics in your leaf and that leafy border, I would not want the black print to become the focal point of the quilt. JMHO, echoing out here all alone. lol

I love the way the leaf pops in the first.

I like the black the best. The beautiful block seems to get swallowed up by the other two.
