I love the third, the quilt looks sooo lite and airy and the 3rd border continues with that look, but I also like the 1st, the heavier border kind of balances the look. either are beautiful.

me and my guy like the first one best; it has the most contrast to the white background of your center. It looks great; can't wait to see it finished...keep us posted!

You do make it a difficult decision... My first reaction was the third one hands down, then you added the fourth and messed with my head. Then I looked at the third again and decided this would be the one for me!!! While the fourth is nice and contained, I think the outer border makes it more of a "standard" quilt, while the third one shows off the beautiful design and just looks more WOW!!!

Just had another thought on the third one. What if you angle the thin blue borders inward at 45 degrees and made the innermost one slightly shorter? Does this make sense?

I agree totally!
