    I like the pieced border, but I would put a narrow row of the yellow first to break it up from the main quilt.

    I love the quilt. I like the pieced, scrappy border, but I would also use narrow solid borders inside and outside of that. Probably medium blue

    I really like the pieced border. The yellow alone is overpowering (IMHOP) although a narrower strip of yellow would work.
    Except for the pale green, it looks like most of the fabrics are small patterns/calico. . .
    I love the combination of squares and Sunbonnet Sue.

    The pieced border continues the flow of the Irish chain so I like that one better
