Inner and outer border dark with a narrow strip of bargello. The dark will stop the action of the quilt and the strip of bargello will add interest to the border.

I like the first one also, simple double border. But I probably would make the darker green a little narrower. Just my thought. I love the colors. I'm working on getting fabrics together to make a large wall hanging. I'm having a hard time with the colors I want to use.

I think the first one looks best but the second one is nice if you match up the narrow border colors to the colors in the main quilt

I totally agree with what Ontheriver says! The quilt only needs simple borders. Nothing pieced as it only takes the eyes away from your beautiful center!

I'd opt for the simple double border. It is very pretty and doesn't make the quilt busier or take attention away from it. The prairie points are cute, but save them for something else.
