Liked the first one the best. Seemed to flow the most for me, see ask 100 people get 100 answers.. its what you like and its not for your hubby. The best advisers are the ones who havent done it! That said we mess up too. Not me of course, just those.. other ones.

I'm no help, I like all of your choices! But it looks like you've found a plan. It's going to look good no matter what you do!

I would go for a solid color myself... the quilt itself already has alot of colors and you don't want it to be lost in the border..

Do not use a solid but something that is marbelized, mottled are reads solid.

I agree with this person go a little quieter on the border or frame it with a more solid piece first then do one of the others
