If I can attach this picture of my block pieces laid out on the floor, help me decide on the last border. Should it be the purple or the turquoise?

Any opinions??

Hmmmm. how about a skinny turquoise and a wider purple?

I like them both.

I would go with turquoise, but that's my favorite color! Both look good!

Man, I kinda like them both....I tend to lean toward a darker border and the purple is different enough form the mottled purple to look nice, but the turquoise makes the other turquoise in the quilt pop. I know, I'm not much help....

I would do a narrow turquoise border next to the patterned purple, then a somewhat wider (but not real wide) solid purple on the outside and bind with the solid as well.
