    I like the purple border best, it doesn't take away from the pretty blocks.

    The great big flower border!!! No doubt whatever. The purple border doesn't do a thing for the quilt. The small flowers speak too softly. And the big flowers - perfect. What beautiful work you did!

    The floral fabrics are pretty, but detract from this quilt.
    I agree, this is beautiful without a border and the printed borders draw your eye away from all your gorgeous pinwheels.

    I would defiinitely use the large flower. It brings out the colors of the squares and enhances them. Also, it softens the geometric design of the quilt. But I would cut off the small band on the side closest to the quilt. IMHO.

    I would choose the dark one with small flowers. It compliments all of the pretty pinwheels. What a beautiful use of scraps!

    I would use either the solid or the small flowers fabric. I think the other overwhelms your gorgeous quilt.
