I'm with everyone else #1 with a thin white border before other borders and the last border (flowered one) to be mitered! Gorgeous quilt!

Oh how I love the looks of your quilt!

ITA with the others ... #1, so the point is there ... otherwise, it looks like it's chopped off. I also might consider leaving the chain in the bottom left corner out where it goes past the angle to the right. Again, keeping it closed and complete. And it would float. I may not be explaining it right, so take a look at the one I did, and you'll get a better word picture of what I am meaning!

I'd also play with the white border ... possibly the same width as all your squares are in your Irish Chain, definitely no wider IMHO (and maybe considerably less).

And a huge ITA .... definitely mitre the corners with that beautiful border print.

I like #1 best. Looks great!

I like #1 but they are both wonderful.

I agree - #1 with a thin white border so the blocks float, then miter the edges of the border fabric. Nice work!

I really like #1 and with your border fabric mitered corners would be perfect. Beautiful Irish chain.

I like number 1 the best I really like your colors and design

Number one would be my choice. It just looks more finished. Love your quilt and color choices.

I agree with no. 1, also with the thin white border and the mitered corners on the floral print. Beautiful job!

Either way works. That's the joy of Irish Chains.
