    I can visualize the border striped in two color with thin black strip on the inside, then two colors, then wider black strip on the outside (like a frame design). That would frame the beautiful piece and accentuate two of your color choices, without distraction. I'll be watching what you decide!

    I also agree that all 3 distract from the lovely quilt.

    I agree, if you want a pieced border I think #1 is the least distracting.

    I like the third, but think the border is too big, or choose something other than these colors. It needs to be toned down

    I think the third looks the best; however I think it also distracts from the main bodyof the quilt. It draws my eye away from the center and the center of the quilt is to interesting to want that to happen.

    I think they all compete with the center that you worked so hard on.

    I think the first is a little harsh on your center. The second is a little too busy for your center. I vote for the 3rd choice.

    Why don't you try a small border of Beige then Black border.The focus is on the center that way.
