I have no idea why I've been so indecisive with this quilt, but it's given me fits for sure.

For those that have been following you can see I changed the sashing from that dark salmon orange to this apricot orange. The flowers were repositioned and like so many suggested, I just went with a few random baskets having them rather than every basket having flowers. Now my final decision is with the border fabric. I'm leaning towards number one (blue background) but I really love the green background fabric.

Thank goodness I have a good idea what I'm going to do for quilting! I don't think I could stand any more decision making! :)

#1 I think #2 is a little too bright and will take away from the total look of the quilt. Great Job

I vote for # 2. The smaller print just blends better, IMHO :)

I can see why you like #2 the colors are striking, though I think #1 will look better with the overall quilt. #2 may "take over" and take away from the beautiful flower baskets.
