    I would go with without. I agree that the border is overpowering.

    I think the border is a bit too busy for my taste, I'd try a plain border or choose number 2

    I always like adding a border. It frames the quilt and adds dimension.

    I wouldnt mind the border, but you need something to separate the outside triangles from the busy border. Otherwise, you're losing them in the busy-ness of the print. Very pretty - it will llook great on a white spread.

    They are both pretty, but I like the border better.

    I like it without the borders - looks cleaner and the dresdens really stand out!

    I'd say no borders... looks more modern and the design stands out without being overpowered with a busy border. VERY pretty!
