I like the way narrow dark frames stop the eye and mind from wandering and contain the colors of the quilt.

I agree with this. Beautiful fabrics!!

For the 2 foot rule I like the dark blue next to the light blue, then the brown.
Have you take a picture from 10 feet away to check by the 10 foot rule?
Whichever looks best from both distances would be the choice according to Diane MacLeod (Dimac quilts) a quilt evaluatior I took lessons from about 10 years ago.
