I love love love the appliqué border. I don't like the pinwheels in the corner though. Maybe if it were just the one set of four pinwheels in the corner instead of three sets of four?
Sorry, I feel harsh saying I don't like something, but then I remind myself that you are free to ignore me if you like them!

The blue border is perfect, but, if you need to have it bigger, then the applique is very pretty. I would probably add another blue border to finish the applique edge. But, I'm mixed about the pinwheel corners. For me, it takes away from the applique. Perhaps just a four patch of the main colors used in the quilt or a repeat of the pattern in the quilt. but just one block not three. Or even just one pinwheel 4 patch.

I like the applique very much with the quilt. It provides a lot of interest with the geometric angular pattern in the middle and then flowing applique on the border. Two suggestions: I would consider making the applique flowersand leaves bigger. I would consider using an applique flower for the corner also.
This is a beautiful quilt. Any of the choices you've shown will work.
