    My eye kept going back to A, B is very pretty for a woman but A fits either male or female.

I really like all the fabrics, even the one that makes you go blind (D), but I think B is the best choice for this quilt. And now that AliKat has put the bug in my ear about red/pink for a little separation....do I do it in scrappy bars of fabric (like 2.5"x5") that kinda copies the scrappy of the hearts, love knots and Delectable Mountains...or a single piece of material??? And should there be a flange of the same red/pink between border B and the binding??? This is such a fun process and I really love the input from all of you - thank you so much!!!
    KISS....keep it simple sewer....use a single piece of fabric in the flange. Also, no. I would not put one between the border and the binding....KISS.

    A is my favorite, B would be my second choice. D would make me dizzy.

    I have not read all the input, but will say for some reason A draws me in, but honestly, I would like any except D....and I don't like it at all.
