I absolutely like pic #3 the best. It flows... looks like it was the plan all along.

Ditto. That yellow makes it shine.

I like 2/3 they are both nice. They blend with the rest of the quilt. I did not like the yellow even a little.

Borders for me are always a challenge. Have you tried a tonal that matches the flowers in your outside border?? I feel the yellow is a little overwhelming but a bright purple that matches the flowers may just be the pop you need to bring out the small purple flowers in the border. I don't know how wide the yellow is but you might try 1" or .75" finished width and see if that works. Very nice color selection.

I like the light lavender. It think the yellow takes away from your squares.

This quilt is great! you did a fantastic job. I like the yellow and I also like the last one. I think whatever you decide to go with your quilt will be great! I have this book and really want to make one of these. I hear they are super easy but I am afraid to jump in and try it. How was it for you? would you make another? Any tips you care to share? Please post a picture once you decide on the boarder and finish it! It is SO amazing! great work.
