    I like the first one, as it does not distract from the beauty of the quilt.

    I like the first one. Your quilt will be beautiful no matter which one you choose.

    I like the first one best, too.

    Without the corner stones.

    You could try reversing the light and dark greens and see what that looks like.

    I like the simple dbl. bborder. The others seem to take away from the quilt. IMHO. Keep it simple.

    My preferences is the dark border with thin strip of bargello.
