    I like the yellow but if you purchase a solid, make it be a mottled one that reads as a solid. Good luck

    My first thought was a turquoise color, either solid, or maybe marbled? In my eye, both border fabrics seem too "busy" to go with the quilt.

    I think they are both a little too busy. Most of the colors in the center read toward solid and/or geometric. The floral fights a bit with those concepts. Great backing options though.

    Love your quilt! The Lemoyne Star is on my to make list. I would choose the same color solid blue as the small squares in the center of the quilt to tie it all together.
