    Camo it blends in better. Floral takes your eye away from the story of the Quilt! Great work!

    I love this. The border on the right is my choice.

    Congratulations. Looks great. My vote goes for the material on the right. I think it helps bring out the pink bow in center, the reason for the quilt right?

    Whilst I know you are asking for a choice, I honestly think that both borders are too overwhelming for your quilt and would prefer a plainer border so that the centre piece would remain the main focus and just in my humble opinion, I think it looks nicer without either of them.

    I agree - go with the flowers- softens it and also flows with the softer pink you have in the pin wheels and boarders. To me the right one in the picture doesn't have enough variety of pinks but may look different in person. Great work, you should be proud you took the time to rework it.
