This was my immediate reaction. I realize the suggested borders aren't REAL fabric, but the flowers are beautiful, all by themselves and a simple one color border, or maybe with a thin line in the middle or towards the outer edge would be all you need.... using tones from the flowers.

I agree with yourstruleyquilts - none of them. Your quilt is so gorgeous, it needs to be able to shine by itself. Anything added will only detract from it!

First one looks the best to me.

I like the symmetry of number one. I think it provides a nice balanced look with that rather formal center. I think the point that others have made about the black in #3 tying it together could easily be achieved with a black binding.

I love the third one, also. I would use it. Beautiful! Looks like Rhonda taught you to use Boston Blocks.

I agree. The Quilt Top is out of this world AWESOME. All those borders would take away from it.

I also vote for #3.

I like the 3rd one best - makes it pop

Like the 3rd one the best BUT think a solid color would look better

LOL. I've wanted to say the same thing. Ladies, she already changed it.
