I want to keep the purple theme and not the yellow or green.
I need opinion on which to use as the inner border. Here are the two choices. Either the small print or the strip print.

I definitely like the strip print better.
What if you put a thin strip of the purple and then the strip?
Very nice quilt!!!!

Small print, or turn the stripes going long ways.

Me too. It was immediate when I scrolled down that I liked that stripe so much more. Gives the illusion of a piano key inner border and I am a sucker for pieced borders.

I like the small print better. Directional prints will fight with something on the sides.

I vote for the stripe! However, you won't go wrong with the print either! :)

Strip print will pull it together like a 2" and then the purple to finish it off maybe 3.5".

All your choices are wonderful. I love the one with a tiny border of purple, then the stripe -
