However, nothing is working for me. I have two beautiful strips of fabric, one is a border fabric in this line and the other is the material between the borders. Nothing I have tried is working so far for me, but I am maybe leaning one way. Could you please give me your opinions and if nothing strikes you, please say so. The one thing that has occurred to me and that I didn't picture is simply a stop border of the red and then the border, but afraid it will get lost and not add to the situation. So here goes. Will post more pics in another thread so not overwhelming.

Of your choices I like the borders in picture 5. A dark green would really be nice also with smaller borders of the fabrics that coordinate with the quilt.
