    This is my vote also. However, I like your braid idea but would use the mauve for the braid and finish with the dark fabric for the final border.

    Cannot offer any advice, but I must say your work is so incredibly gorgeous that whatever border you choose the completed quilt will be awesome.

    Like the third on the left since balances the blocks and will be the entire drop. I feel that while the narrow borders match, they are to narrow to balance all the background fabric on both sides. Good luck, the blocks are lovely.

    Another vote for third down on the left--the colors and the widths shown would set off the top nicely. My second choice would be a braid without the two lightest (whites), which would be very attractive too, I think, maybe with the whites as strips with a couple of the other colors to set it off.

    I vote for 3rd down on left too. Say...you wouldn't happen to be an 1895 addict? Love your fabrics!
