They both are pretty but I think the linen look border really makes the quilt look more sophisticated vs country.

I think I like the blue better. I like the contrast the blue against the tan epp and it helps the blue epp pieces pop in the quilt.

I love the second one too.

I agree that the bottom choice is best, great quilt!

I would go with the gold, and keep it more mellow.

l guess i'm on the losing team. I prefer the blue. it allows the tan epp to show up and makes the colors pop. I think you will be very happy with either one! I admit it, I love borders!

That is such a beautiful quilt. Good luck on your choice and please share when you are finished. I vote for the bottom one or a darker version of a fabric.

Beautiful quilt! I like the tan border too. It seems to set off all the other colors nicely.

I like the soft blue fabric for the border!

Tan for me!

Don't know if anyone has suggested white yet. It would help emphasize the little diamonds outlining the blocks.

The bottom one, to me it just makes it stand out more. It is beautiful!

What a beauty! I also like the tan.
