Definitely without the brown. Since this is bugging me, let me say borders are spelled without an a. Boarders are people who stay at your house and you feed. That's my rant for the day. Very pretty quilt. glenda

No brown. Purple would be pretty.

I would use the darker lavendar/purple that is in the stars for the first narrow border, then the light lavendar and green binding.. JMHO

The brown is okay, but I would agree with LindaM ~ a purple would 'play better' with your quilt.

Me too!

I agree with this idea myself. Not too fond of the brown with it.

Use a 1.5" strip of the dark purple in your quilt in place of the brown. With no brown in the quilt, the brown looks a bit out of place, but the purple would set it off to a tee! Beautiful quilt!!!
