Or I could use a dark purple batik instead of the black since there is no black in the body of the quilt.

I'm liking the black. It break ups the color a bit.

I like the dark inner border, too.

A very dark purple would be my choice over black, but if the quilt itself has black in it, I would go with the black inner border too. :)

I like a dark inner border. A thinner black, or a tone on tone

I love the black inner border.. gives the eye a bit of a "rest" spot, and "contains the color.
