I prefer the darker contrast so the snakeskin gets my vote.

Instead of using one or the other, how about using both? A narrow border of snake and then a wide border of the gold. I love that gold, but the sashing is too much the same color to have it right next to it.

Love your quilt.

This would be so pretty. Great combo.

The contrast with #1 looks better , IMHO. But if it were me, since the snake is not an animal like the others, I would use a narrow black flange, or as someone else said, a narrow black inner border, and then go with #2.

I like the snake skin print. I would also consider what is on the back. If it is the giraffe print then I would use that and the same print for the border. What a fun quilt. I am humming "In the jungle, the quiet jungle the lion sleeps tonight,....."

While I like the darker color, I would not want to be sleeping with a snake!
Perhaps a smaller black trim sash and then the giraffe print would be better.
You asked for opinions.
