I like #3. All are nice though. Good work.

From a design point of view, the 3 variations work equally well on this beautiful quilt. No matter what you choose, the quilt will be stunning. So which color do you like best? And which do you think is the most prominent place for it?

Very pretty quilt. I don't see how you could go wrong with either border selection.

I agree with this suggestion. To use a narrow strip of cream to separate the colors, then the yellow, orange & brown. Lightest to darkest. But whatever you decide, that quilt is breathtaking.

Really beautiful quilt. I vote for one or two with brown binding.

It is lovely!

I agree with the two who said a dif color to "set" the quilt. Since you have all 3 colors on the edge, if you use one of the 3, the quilt bleeds off the edge.

Try laying black in there, and see what you think.

For borders, I like

inner to outer, yellow orange brown, bound in brown.
