The floral border really finishes it nicely. Without the border it looks like you finished because you ran out of material - not because you designed it that way.

If you have to put a border on, the larger flower (#1) would be my favorite. It would be a little different texture from the small prints.

I'd bind it with the darker fabric and call it a day. The quilt is such a beauty on it's own, it doesn't need a border of any kind unless you just want it larger.

I like the look of the brown border better as it is darker and sets the quilt off nicely. It is a gorgeous tablet topper!

My choice would be to leave it like it is, or use the second (middle) border - it brings out the colors in the quilt. The third one is a little bit dull... doesn't do anything for all that beautiful work you did.

It's lovely as is, but the dark brown floral border really sets it off IMO. You could then bind it in the green. I love it, you have done a wonderful job.
