Thanks for all the feedback ladies! I've decided to go with zigzag #2, as it seems the most popular, and then border B, as long as I've got enough fabric!

bearisgray and JustAbitCrazy- I agree, once I posted it, I wasn't sold on the pinwheel either. Thanks!

illinois- I punched the 'heart' design in on my computer and didn't love it, so I skipped it as an option. I LOVE the patterned fabric, but I'm not sure I've got enough to use it as a border, whereas I know I've got enough of the other two to work with. If I'm not sold on the blue once I get it cut, I'll turn the strips into my binding and go buy some mauve or more of the pattern, assuming I can find it. Thanks for the suggestions!

At first I didn't see the blue as it's pretty light but the pink next to the pink of the steps is a bit much. It may look different in real time. Have you tried the pattern fabric as the border? Do you have a bit of the darker mauve that's in the patterned fabric?

I appreciate it when an original poster responds to the posts/suggestions made to the original post like you have done.

Sometimes people post and then disappear.

My vote is for zigzag 2 and border B. Very petty quilt!

Well, I ended up running out of enough fabric to do my original plans for the borders, but I finished piecing this last night, and believe someone requested updates!
Thanks again everyone
