I like the dark blue (#2) because the brown in the quilt is dominant and the blue brings out the other blues more.

#2. #1 is too close to the color of some of the fabrics in the quilt and they colors bleed together, IMO. I like #2 better with the pretty floral batik in the wide border, too.

either way works, but I think I like #2 a smidge better.

#1 with the darkest color on the out side to act like a frame, to keep the eye on the quilt and not wonder off

​I vote for # 2. It lets the pattern of the quilt show more. When I look at the first one, all I notice is the brown.

The first one for me too. The blue in the second one is so dark it "stops" the quilt before your eye travels to the border.
