Debating a border

The center of my Willow Tree Hill quilt top is done! I'm changing the border from the original pattern and now have to decide how many pinwheel blocks to incorporate into the last border. I did a mock-up layout on EQ6 with three possibilities. (I didn't fuss with the odd sizes of the house blocks in the mock up--such a lazy quilter!). So, I'm curious to know what y'all think! Let me know which border you would choose. Here is the center:
It was pretty windy out--made it tough to get a photo without any flap in it. You can see the small pinwheels and the dog-tooth border. Here is a detail of the border:
And here are the three options for the last border:

Option A (left) Option B (center) Option C (right)

I would love to know which one you'd choose! I *think* I have narrowed my choice down to two of these options, but I keep going back and forth on it. Time to get some quilty opinions!

A or C .. I'm leaning towards C myself too, guessing that's 6" border?

Definitely Option A. Just enough pinwheels for zing but doesn't overwhelm the center, which is exquisite, by the way! What an imaginative house block.

A... I think C has too many pinwheels, but that's just me...
