    Would really look spectacular if you miter the outer border. If that's not an option, then No. 1 looks best to me.

    I love the colors and the way you used the flowered fabric. But I think if you could miter the borders it would really finish it off! Perhaps you are going to do that, and just didn't fold it that way for the picture. It will be a lovely quilt !

    I like the first one and I like quiilterCND's suggestion to put a thin white strip between the blocks and the first border, would love to see how that looks. Whatever you decide it is really beautiful.

    Agree. For me, the border corners would be mitered. Nice looking quilt. Thanks for sharing.

    I agree with the others - #1 does it for me, especially with a thin, white border.

    Both are beautiful, including your quilt, but I think I like #1 a little better. I just love blue/white quilts, so pretty.

    This is going to be a lovely quilt. I vote for #1 with the white inner border.

    I vote for Number 1. Don't know why, I just like the look of it better. It pleases my eye.
