    What a beautiful quilt!! I like the way it is without the border and I like #1 and #2, I trust your judgement.

    I like Option #2. I think it keeps the focus of your eye on the patterns of the block in the main part of the quilt. Lovely colors.

    I rather the second one. It seems that the first one takes your eye away from the center of the quilt.

    I like option #1, and I think it is a lovely quilt. In my opinion it is fine the way it is unless yo are trying to make it bigger. I love what you have done with it.

    Number two will set the whole quilt off. You have made a true work of art, way to go!!!

    option 2 co-ordinates quite well with the body of the quilt. Thanks for inspiring me with the two color borders. I have a quilt that I have not finished because I ran out of blue moda fabric. I do have a blue moda that is a shade darker and now I am going to use it. The border is hour glass block, so I will use the darker moda on the opposing borders. Shouldn't be too noticeable.
