When I was looking at it the first thing that came to mind was the center coloring. The pink/blue is very pretty, but I think the pink/green is the way to go IMHO. Will coordinate very nicely!

If the center basket is green, then I like the pink/green!!!
If it's blue then go with the blue!
I'd probably go with the one that didn't have to be pieced, I don't like to piece borders if I can help it, but that's just me!!
It's really hard to tell what the colors are from the pic!

I'll try for some better pics tomorrow in the daylight. Maybe the colors will show better. Barbara

Pink/green! The blue seems to distract. Nice quilt!

The second one picks up the blue centers, while the green does not seem to do the same for the green centers and basket. It also picks up the triangle shapes, while at the same time rounding them off. I like the whole effect of the blue. It seems to just work better all the way around, even though I actually prefer the design of the print in the green one best in and of itself.

I agree with Franie. My eyes were immediately drawn to the blue flower border and not the quilt. I like the green best as it's subtle and enhances.

Wow, seems like the vote is split...well, I'm going with the pink/green. Sooner or later one of them will just make you smile and go, "that IS the right one!"
Really nice quilt!!
