I would border it. I would audition one side with just a dark purple border (the same size as your strips) and the other side with a border of the lighter pink/purple and then the dark color. The colors blend very nicely and I'm sure she will be pleased with the balance the pinkish and bluish ones give it, but if she is a purple person, then it should have a dark purple border.

I think it would look nice with a small framing border and then add a darker wider (3" would be a great size) border. Maybe if you audition a couple of different ways something just will click visually for you. Good luck and lucky sister.

very nice. I like these colors! Do you still have enough pink to put a narrow border to frame it and then one of the darker color for a larger border of may be 3 inches...
Once you sow the blocks together, you can try to place some fabrics and audition what it would look like

Without any border, that is going to be one narrow quilt! consider making more blocks, then I would put a narrow border, 1" or so, followed by a wider border about 5-6 inches. Have a beautiful design quilted in the border and it won't be "boring."
