I think 3 brings out the best colors from the center

I like the third one for sure. The first one is ok too but the third is the best by far. Good luck.

I agree that you should use the plain border. The fancy borders, while ttractive in their own right , distract from the body of the quilt. Lovely quilt

Agree with everyone about the third but still think it's distracting too.

The third one is the prettiest. But, forget the border. I want to see that quilt top in real life. That is gorgeous!!! However did you do it?

I was going to say #1, then I scrolled down to #3. WOW! Definitely #3, it frames it so nicely.

I agree with the others. I like the third one, but I'd prefer a more muted edge--perhaps the small border with perhaps a simple black boarder so as not to detract from the focus.

The quilt is beautiful but the borders I think are too busy and don't bring out the beauty of the quilt...just my opinion.

I like the third border the best. It doesn't take your attention away from the center. Very nice quilt.
