Light lavender, white, purple floral is my choice. There is less of the light lavender and this combination brings out that color from the blocks nicely.

I like the second picture, the cream and then the dark floral. Wasn't that a fun quilt to make??? I've made one and just need to quilt it. Then I need to make the "extra projects!"

The yellow is so much more interesting than any of the other options...

The yellow is beautiful but I think it may be too bold for the quilt and it tends to draw the eye to it first instead of the beautiful top. I would vote for the light lavender, white and purple floral border as I think this best compliments your top without drawing the eye to it first thing.
Beautiful job!

The yellow is my favorite, and the lavender is my second favorite. Depends on how much you want it to Pop!

Love your quilt. How about switching the white with the purple floral and keep either the yellow or the light lavender? Just a thought. Love the colours and personally love the yellow border. Ultimately your choice, best wishes.
