Block and mini of the Month

I am working on another long term project. I bought a pattern in Paducah last year that has a block of the month and a mini quilt for each month. I would pick it up every couple of months and ponder starting it, but in my mind I needed to start in Jan.   The block of the month is incorporated in the mini quilt each month. Here is what I've done so far:

Jan. block
Yes it is a little rough around the edges. It is 3 1/2 inches square. After you make all 12 months you put them together in a final mini quilt.

Jan. mini quilt

It is 11 1/2 inches square.

Feb. block-
Those pieces are tiny.

Feb. mini quilt-
This one is a little bigger at 18 1/2 x 20 inches. Not exactly how I envisioned it in my head, but it is growing on me.

March block-




And an unfinished March mini quilt-
I was trying to get out of my comfort zone color wise. And make something a bit springy. There is suppose to be another 2" border around the outside. I got stuck. Help. Vote for the one you like best. Or if you think I should not put the other border on. I am trying to use fabric I have so the choices are limited.
#1
#2
#3 = no border

I haven't started on April's block yet, since I'm behind on March.

Enjoy the day!
