I like the plain white as not to take away from the work done in the blocks.

i like the yellow pinwheels. i think it brings in the yellow from the blocks a bit more.

I prefer the plain; as someone stated the blocks should remain the focus.

I like the pinwheels. They are pale enough not to detract. The all white seems too white to me.

I agree with Tartan . I think the Yellow would be much prettier. If the white and yellow pinwheelws are too light so is the white. It will look too washed out. The plain green and yellow borders with feathers or leaves quilted in them will be all it needs. The blocks are beautiful and will make a beautiful quilt however it is set up. Someone did a nice job.

I say plain white also. Gorgeous embroidery. Was the embroidery work done by someone you know?

It looks like [on my computer] that if you are going with the white, it might need to be as thin as the white in the blocks. the white overpowers the softness of the blocks. Just my opinion.

Exactly what I would do. Good luck.
