a small lap quilt almost finished. It's a sampler style.

was wondering if I want to put an outside border on or leave it with just the flower dark border.

What do you think?

proposed outer border - very light sage

Personally, I would leave it as it is and use the green for binding. It is a very pretty quilt right now.

Binding would be the light green. Not enough purple left.

I love your proposed outer border and would bind with dark violet.

I would just bind it with the same fabric as the existing border. It is beautiful as is.
