Female Silhouette & Concentric Circles

After deciding to add the teal borders
on this composition from the workshop with Didi Salvatierra,
I embroidered in Chain Stitch a 
female silhouette.  Now I've begun adding more texture by
hand quilting in black thread in concentric circles.

Auditioning Teal Borders - Too Bright?

I've been pondering how to brighten up this

palate from a workshop recently.

You can see it 

Here

 straight from my workshop with Didi Salvatierra.

So, today when I saw this teal fabric in my stash,

I wondered, what if.....?

I may also add some other pops of color extending into the border.

Which Direction? Improvisational Piecing With Didi Salvatierra

I took a great workshop with Didi Salvatierra today.

I used many precut hand dyed fabric strips

 gleaned from another quilter quite awhile ago.
The white is the design wall NOT park of the composition.

My color palate is a bit brighter 

so I plan to add some bright accents - Maybe embroidery 

or maybe just machine quilted. 

So, the question is, which orientation is most pleasing in your opinion?
