    I vote for the white, it makes the whole quilt pop! The flange idea is exciting.
    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, WINE IN THE OTHER, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!"

    IMHO.....no white and cut the black outter border narrower....I personally think it is making to HUGE of a statment and detracting from the individual blocks. Do you have a planning board, you need to put this somewhere where you can step back and look at the overall effect.....just my thoughts...
    Yes that is a real picture of my hometown Temecula, California. We feature premiere Wineries, World Class Golf Courses, Pechanga Indian Casino and Hot Air Balloons

    I prefer the white. It seems to stop the eye - which I like!

    I prefer the white. To my eyes it brings out the lighter blocks of the quilt.

    I think it needs the white, but not in the position it is in. I would put it first.

    I, too, think a thin white flange would provide contrast without distraction.

    I like your idea of a narrow border between the purple and floral...but i don't think white...a little to "loud" that way - and this seems to be more of a "speaks softly" quilt. Love your color choices !!!!
    Of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most.
