    The blue stops the motion, the purple continues it. Both will be beautiful. Is there something you want to match in the room? or is it to be a gift? If so, what colors does that person like? Honestly, you cannot go wrong using either color. Your quilt is just gorgeous!

    The blue is more striking. The purple blends into the black.

    Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.

    Agreed. So it depends on which look you want.

    I suppose, in the end, it is all a matter of personal preference. Purple is a color that tends to bring me down, but I love anything turquoisy. So I say the blue.
    One step at a time, always forward.
