This was my immediate reaction. I realize the suggested borders aren't REAL fabric, but the flowers are beautiful, all by themselves and a simple one color border, or maybe with a thin line in the middle or towards the outer edge would be all you need.... using tones from the flowers.

I agree with yourstruleyquilts - none of them. Your quilt is so gorgeous, it needs to be able to shine by itself. Anything added will only detract from it!

I like the symmetry of number one. I think it provides a nice balanced look with that rather formal center. I think the point that others have made about the black in #3 tying it together could easily be achieved with a black binding.

I love the third one, also. I would use it. Beautiful! Looks like Rhonda taught you to use Boston Blocks.

I agree. The Quilt Top is out of this world AWESOME. All those borders would take away from it.

LOL. I've wanted to say the same thing. Ladies, she already changed it.
