It is one of those times the colors are so far off -

I don't care for the floating look of the 1st one. It needs a narrow border to frame the center.

It's hard to tell with the enlarged photos on my monitor, but I'm seeing different shades of brown in the green fabric used for the churn dashes and also in the fabric used for the centers of the churn dashes - especially in angels/fairies hair and shadows. I like the brown. It adds an unexpected touch.

As mentioned before, try auditioning several combinations of borders. You will get that gut level feeling and know when the "best one for you" appears.

The brown is okay, but I would agree with LindaM ~ a purple would 'play better' with your quilt.

Ditto

I agree, a small dark border more in the color palette will be very pleasing.
