I like the first picture with the large scale print on the border! It picks up the large scale print in the blocks.

I second the idea of the floral for the border and the darker for the border.

Ditto.... plus, you may have less opportunity to use large scale fabric in another project. Unlike the solid, which is more versatile...at least to me it is. Either will be a lovely finish, tho.

I like the first one. To me it keeps the focus inwards.

Thank you all so much for the advice and the well wishes. Once I get the quilt back from the quilter I will definitely post a picture. I am leaning toward the floral border and the dark brown for the binding recommendation. Thank you again.
