I like the first one better. I would put a blue border in between the border strips, too, too keep your posies from blending in.

I think the second option "anchors" the quilt better.

I like the first option better. There is something about the green against the blue border in the second one that I find displeasing. The first one looks elegant.

May I suggest an option 3? The floral border against the blue, followed by a piano key border of all the fabrics, then bind in either green or blue.

I don't have a preference as they both look very similar to me.It is a very attractive idea.

I think I prefer the first version finishing with the binding in the green.

I agree with Nonnie60 Just the focus fabric for a border! Very nice quilt! Great job!

I agree.
A small blue border between your pieced blocks and lg scale outer border would set it off beautifully, I think
