I like the one with the big blue border. Either of them looks good though. so, you can't go wrong.

I "tried" the green out, but it made me realize this fabric is sort of directional, which I didn't realize. The green made the stems stand out, and some looked upside down. Tried purple too, and light blue. None of them appealed to me.

Here is where I am now. I think I'll bind in blue.

Looks like we all agree that #2 is the one.

The wider blue on the inside gets my vote. The white border next to white blocks makes it look like something is 'spilling over'. Beautiful quilt....I love the blue and blue floral.

It needs a stopper and preferably not a color in the quilt but maybe picking up some other color from the print. The stopper does not need to be very wide. Possibly only 1/2 inch.
