I think you need to look for something else. The very formal look of the teal border print fights with the informal shell motif.

they all look nice. the teal works well with the shells in the first one, b/c the spacing is graduated & looks more proportionate [opinion]

<sigh> After leaving them lay on the floor and walking past several times I've decided to look for something else. None of what I have is just right.

Maybe I'll get lucky and find that purple wave fabric in just the exact right shade of blue/green.

I agree with this comment -

and the grayish "ocean waves" fabric looks dirty compared to the rest of the item.

I like the proportions best on the third picture at the beginning of the post.

My thoughts exactly. However, I 'm quite sure that the gorgeous teal border won't go to waste. It will find another life in something else!

I really like the last picture, but without the lighter cornerstones. I think it makes the center part pop.

I like the first & second ones. I don't care for the strip of orange on the outside of the last one. If it was gone, I might like the third one, also.

I can't see enough difference in the blue shades to matter and it's far enough away from the center blue that it won't matter if it's a little off.

I think it looks fine. Stick with it. The third pic looks perfect.

I personally like the teal color with the quilt. I think it enhances your center square. I just think the pattern fights with your shell border. Maybe something in the teal color, but in a smaller print/solid/tone-on-tone?
