Sorry, I do not like any of them. IMO, they all draw the eye away from the center to the borders. Since you have a lot of primary colors, I would suggest a near solid of one of the primary colors, perhaps red or blue?

I like to cut strips across WOF for borders. Then it looks like a "piano keyboard" effect. Thisi would be my choice for you.

I agree with QuiltnNan, none of them speak to me. If you have to pick from one of the four, I'd say the bottom one. Otherwise I'd find something in either the red or orange tones as those are the colors that seem to pop out at me.

Not sure I like any of them but if I had to chose I'd say the pink. Maybe pick a color from the top to use as boarder.

Of the ones there, the bottem, but if you have background materal, a red border and then the background would be great, or plain red.

This is what I would use--Red.

I feel so much better now.

You have made an excellent choice and your quilt will be luscious when completed. Please post a picture at that time. Thanks for sharing.
