OK, folks, it's voting time again! (Gee, what would I do without the collective brain power of the blogosphere?)
Here's the deal: I can't decide on the border design for this quilt. I started out enlarging the design I used for the previous gift quilt, using a Arnold's Attic Fat eighth bundle and a fat quarter bundle of Arnold's Attic wovens (gorgeous,BTW). I started out with this idea, but when I laid it out on the floor it looked too dark:
FYI, the piano key border pieces finish at 2 1/2" x 5", so some of the EQ representations show them too wide, but you get the idea.
I'm open to suggestions. Still making the blocks in the center so I have some contemplation time. What would you do?
Addendum: The more I look at them, the more I'm leaning toward number 4. Help!

Hiya Jan!
Your quilt is quite wonderful and so are those ginourmous tomatoes!
My favorite border would be #3 because it introduces the lights to balance the center, and yet it goes back to the deeper tones to give definition. Also, I am a practical woman who worries that very light outer borders will show every speck of dirt when being used.

I agree with Vic in NH. My eye is drawn to the light inner border.
I think #2 is just right: it adds a wee bit of lightness to the busy borders.
4 is my favorite, but 5 can work too - use a dark binding!
