The great big flower border!!! No doubt whatever. The purple border doesn't do a thing for the quilt. The small flowers speak too softly. And the big flowers - perfect. What beautiful work you did!

The floral fabrics are pretty, but detract from this quilt.

I would defiinitely use the large flower. It brings out the colors of the squares and enhances them. Also, it softens the geometric design of the quilt. But I would cut off the small band on the side closest to the quilt. IMHO.
