I agree with yourstrulyquilts; they all distract from your beautiful fractured bouquet! I'd use a solid.

I, too, like the third best. I would choose colors/shades that didn't detract from the beautiful center. You did such wonderful work that it should look like a framed centerpiece

I also prefer #3 but my first thought was all borders were too busy and takes viewers eyes away from the focal point of the beautiful flowered center.

I like the third option.

I prefer the first. It's simplicity does not distract from the beautiful quilt

Thanks everyone. I'm sold. I agree all of them were detracting a bit so I went back to the drawing board and put in narrow light yellow border then a wide black border and POP!!!

The third one is the best but it really draws a way from the center. Maybe solid colors would be better.

I like #3 best but was curious what it would look like if you flipped the border so the black was on the inside.

None of them, they all detract from the quilt. Use a medium sized floral instead. Or black (like background) with accents of the darkest red/pink.

I think I agree that the borders above compete somewhat with the center of the quilt - but I do like the punch of black in option #3.

Sorry, I didn't read through all the comments to see that last option. I like the 4th one with the more solid black and narrow light. Good choice!

Absolutely love the black and yellow border. really frames your center. Beautiful Job. The other three were pretty, but did detract from the awesome center.
