    I like the yellow-green at the top, followed by the watercolor looking blue at the bottom. What do you think of them? Do you like the calmer look of the blenders?

    They are both too busy! How about a marble or tone-on-tone that picks up the bright blue sashing intersection squares?

    I like the yellow green on the left side, it looks like a solid to me, just looks so lovely and soft.

    I agree with those who have mentioned a solid color for your border that picks up a color from you Lemoyne Stars. When I first looked at your photo. My eyes kept going from the stars to the border fabric and got stuck on the print of the border. Seek out a more solid border so the beautiful stars will shine as the "stars of the show" and keep the floral print for another quilting opportunity. OK.... just my opinion. It is your quilt and you can finish it off in a way the pleases YOU and not us. Quilt on!

    I like the one on the right...it brings out your colors more...I find the other too yellow somehow...IMHO...agree with Lynnie ...your quilt do what you like best and don't worry about the quilt police...lol

    I would choose more of a blender similar to those in the background of your blocks to make the stars stand out. The patterned border choices are very pretty but deserve a venue of their own.

    out of your choices in Post #21, I like the aqua/blue on the right best... I think you're getting warmer. : )

    I vote for a solid turquoise rather than one of the busier colors.
