    #3. My personal opinion is that the light strip in the border takes the eye to the border and then the eye stops. With #3, the eye travels around the beautiful blocks. the light border stripe disrupts that and stops the movement.. That is my personal take on it.

    I think the wide dark blue looks best.

    I agree with the tan/brown then a second dark blue.

    I would like #2 if the blue was just a little bit darker. Otherwise #3.

    I would put a strip of the tan that is in your fabric then a blue. Beautiful quilt.
