Need border opinions, please
#1
I am trying to finish a quilt for my s-i-l for Christmas- coming down to the wire here, and now that it is time for borders I can't seem to decide which is better. I have a green/purple fabric and one that is more purple. i wanted the quilt to read more purple, but it didn't turn out to be as purple as I had hoped. But in looking at the pictures it looks like the green is the better border fabric. Any helpful comments appreciated.

Oooh, both colors really change the feel of the quilt. Isn't it amazing how it can do that. The green softens it a lot while the purple makes the block design really pop. For myself, I prefer the look of the purple border.

No, I have very little of the dark purple as not much was needed in the original pattern. My 14 y/o son came in and looked at it and said "the purple is better". Now how does he know that???
I can't believe how fast you all have responded. Thanks so much for the input.
