I think black. Also have you thought of putting the stripe border WOF instead of LOF for border? If It is the focus fabric that you do not like then WOF would make stripes not as long. IMHO I like the blocks. Who said that you have to put a matching border on this stack n wack quilt. It is your world!

Really like your ugly(?) fabric. You have made a beautiful quilt. I also go for the black. Can't wait for the finished project. BrendaK

This might be a voice in the dark, but how about a small green border matching the green in the fabric? It will highlight the purple and then finish with a black border to tie it together. I just think that it might give enough contrast to define the edges but punch up purples. Just a thought.

I thought of that also. I will have to pull out some stash and check out a few tings. Tanks for all the replys.
