You have strong diagonals in your quilt. To stop the eye from going off the edge of your quilt, you need a hard solid border. I would use a solid dark red for a narrow border and then use either of the other two blues. Love the colors!

I like B but with a 1.5 inch border between, and A fabric for the back.

I like A; in the second photo the border matches one of the blocks and it blends too much, your eye goes away from the design of the quilt.

Choice A

I like choice A. I have always heard that you don't want the border fabric to touch a block of the same fabric. It makes it look like the block is running into the border. Does that make sense? Lynn

I think a 1" white border first, then choice B around that would look good. Love the colors!

I really like your quilt, no matter how it's put together! Great colors! I tend to lean toward Choice B - I like how the border print looks with that one.

I agree, however if I used a complimentary color (not in quilt), then I would use B for the 2nd wider border. If two borders is not an option, then I vote for A.
