I think if you added a small 2" border then the larger dark purple it may make it come together better. Good luck!!!!

I'd do a 2" in the lighter purple.....then a 4 or 6" in in the lighter pink and then bind it in the dark purple

Personally, I think I would do the 2" dark purple border on the sides, then a 5" scrappy piano key type border just on the sides, then a 2" dark purple border just on the sides, a 3 1/2" light purple or dark pink sides border, then a dark 2" border all the way around. Then bind in the dark. This would give you a quilt that is 74 x 93 and much more proportional in dimension.

I think a border would be nice.
Not pink, there is enough already.

This is really very nice. Just add some borders with the colors you have and enjoy that this quilt will make someone happy. I would title the quilt "Rose Bud".
peace

I like Wildyards idea for the borders and even if you had to add some other pinks and purples to fill out the piano keys it would blend well and look great as a border.

That is a really gorgeous quilt and obviously a large amount of work and skill on your part.

Thanks everyone. I have decided to go with one 10 inch on sides and 3 inch purple border on top. I have the material and hope to get to it next week. I will post my progress.
