The pieced border is best, IMHO. Don't like the yellow border at all.

I like the pink border personally, I do like the pieced border, but I think it distracts from the rest of the quilt. Especially
since there are so many small blocks in the rest of the quilt. Just a thought!

Beautiful quilt. The pieced border would be my choice.

Diffently the pieced border, also suggest a small border between the original and the pieced one.

Here's another pieced border vote. Your quilt is lovely! Can you remove the bright red and blue butterfly? It stands out too much because the color is to vibrant while to other colors are more pastel. It is such a gorgeous quilt with such talented piecing and hard work. BRAVO!

I love this idea, and by the way hat is one beautiful quilt!
