    I agree with this and would make the binding the blue or is it lavendar in the blocks. I think a thin border of yellow would bring the yellow out of the center and accentuate the pieced border.
    I'd also audition the same yellow for the binding, but then I believe yellow brightens things up.
    Its a beautiful quilt already, so whatever you choose, your not going to go wrong.

    Your quilt is beautiful. I think the pieced border really tops it off. I would go with that one.

    The pieced border gets my vote. I love this quilt! I just bought lots of '30s fabrics and was looking for a pattern....um....

    The pieced border is definitely the way to go for me. I love your quilt. The colors are great and I like the old-fashioned look.

    the blue in it hit me first....i like the idea of using a print, to go along with the prints in the blocks. will be very pretty.

    I like the pieced border is great, but I'm not crazy about the butterfly border. I think it's distracting. This is only since you asked.
