It's such an elegant looking quilt. I'm thinking the 3rd border really does make the blocks look like fine china...and keeps everything looking simple yet sophisticated. LOVELY quilt top!!!!

I like the dark blue border but it just needs something. The silver blue very narrow strip would make it more interesting without detracting from the beautiful blocks.

I like that one, too, I think it frames the quilt which is lovely, BTW! :thumbup:

I would use about a 1 inch inner border of the silver or a white, then a 3-4 inch outer border of the medium blue (that matches the medium blue in the blocks, then a binding in the floral print same as the blocks or the darkest blue. Good luck! Sure is a pretty quilt!
