I would like a 'calmer' border as there is quilte a lote of movement in the quilt.

I agree. Maybe a black on black.

That's it! I responded before I viewed the whole thread. You nailed it with the soft yellow and black.

Wow, you've tried it. We just got the fractured book in the LQS that I work in. It looks stunning !!! I vote for the third and last border. Thanks for posting.
