    Love the quilt, and I think the first one would be the better choice. It flows with the quilt pattern better and doesn't overpower it.

    Are those from the "Aliens" line?

    I like the one on the left - doesn't compete as much with the blocks. Also, I think that's a good width for the border. Nicely balanced.

    This is a difficult one, they're both really great. Left one if I had to choose. Great quilt.

    I don't think you could go wrong using either for the borders. I like them both.
