I love the second border! The darkest fabric and lightest always creates a nice border.. its like a picture matting. FYI - your quilt has made me rethink my dislike of pink. I am now obessed with getting the scraps to make a similiar.

I like the backing fabric and the second pic with the small pink and white border. Its a beautiful quilt.

I think flying geese in a first or second border would be nice too.

i like the stopping strip one, but i'd also bind it in that same strip color.

I love the last picture. That little stripe of pink/burgendy is just enough to stop your eye before the border.

Yes, definitely use a stopper border like you have in the picture, or even a bit darker if you can (for visual appeal).
How about a few pieced sailboats in the large border, or at the corners?:)
LOVE this quilt!

I like the second picture with the stopper strip and I would do mitered corners. Mitered corners are not my favourite to sew but in your quilt I think it would be nice to follow the diagonal effects of the quilt body. Love it!

The last one. The backing fabric is perfect for the back, but too busy for a border for this lovely quilt. Definite stopping strip, the light border, then a binding in the same dark pink.

Whatever color you choose will draw out that shade from the interior. I'd try a narrow burgundy strip to stop the pattern and then a wider medium shade for the border. I usually audition several ideas and then sleep on it. I said it before ---I love your quilt!
