i say go plane and make a design there when you quilt it. i think solid boarders are nice. and if you use a batik it will be really nice becauseof the texture. or even a tone on ton. just my two cents. post when you are done.

I would take off the blue and do the whole boarder in the pretty purple. I held my hand up against the blue the the purple made the quilt come alive even more! Or I would take away the purple and blue and add a soft green to match the light green in the quilt. Just my opinion. It is pretty the way it is.

I would go with either the blue or purple but not both. I would do about the same width as the blue with which ever was chosen but split it and have a narrow white stripe running through the center to tie it to the quilt top.

What a beautiful quilt you have made. IMO, I think the dark blue is to much for it, but the purple brings out the rest of the pattern. If you do want the blue in the border, try a thin blue border where you have the purple & a wider purple around that. Just my thought.
