I need an opinion on which fabric to use for the border on this quilt.

Dark green diagonal stripe, Choice #2

This is the whole quilt
[ATTACH=CONFIG]26047[/ATTACH]

This fabric will probably be the backing, I have plenty of it Choice #1

I think I would go with the last blue one. It really ties the whole quilt together and makes it brighter too.

I think I like #7 the best. The blue really makes all the other colors pop :wink:
