Finishes and Endings

I managed to put a couple of extra borders on the mystery quilt after I put all the blocks together.  I didn't NEED it to be bigger, but I hate square quilts... I'm not happy with the borders, but I'm not sure I'm unhappy enough to rip them out and start over.  Still thinking about it.

This is what it looked like with the first four borders on (as designed by Bonnie Hunter), sorry about the picture being partially obscured by my wall of fabric... my design wall really isn't big enough for it.  

Then I added a 5th border, piano keys in all the colors in the quilt (except the white).  I was happy enough with this border, even if it's a big 'heavy':

Then I added border #6 - just a fabric that has all the colors in it... I don't really like this one.  It looks a little 'muddy'... though it might make a good back for the quilt:

That sixth border is the one I'm most strongly considering removing... I have to make a decision before I take it to the quilter, but I'm just not in the mood to make a choice right now.  Too depressed.

Basically, I've had all my confidence and stability rocked this week and I don't want to make any decisions while I'm in this state... I feel like my friends (well not ALL of them, but a lot of them, have rejected me, and I'm not sure there's any turning back.  My head is reeling and my heart aches... not a time for making choices.
