Great fabric choices, love the dark blue with purple and black, very nice. I think I like #2 with the narrow inner border of the outside border fabric with the lighter blue in between. It seems to make the blocks "float" that way and make them stand out.

I like number #1 better. To my eye the blocks of focus fabric (the galaxy fabric) that abut the border disappear in choice #2 but they are more vibrant and come to the forefront in #1. #2 also seems to darken the overall appearance of the quilt but that could simply be monitor perception.

they are both great. I often ask students 'which one do you keep being drawn back to?' One has a very definite edge and the other has a floating look. Both are beautiful in a different way. Trust yourself - too often we second guess ourselves out of the one we prefer. The only thing I would do for sure is to keep the pictures of both. In the future you may want to do the other one.
