Opinions needed please

I like the dark. In art class many moons ago, I learned that if we "darken the corners" it helps to bring the viewer into the painting. So I try to practice the same with quilts. This is just my own opinion and don't really know if it applies, but it's what I try to do.

I would like a dark versus the light, but not the dark you have in the photo - would go with something similar to the other fabrics in the body of the quilt. If I only had the 2 choices presented I would go with the light.

I also like the light purple better, but it's hard to tell because of the picture. If I could see the quilt better, it would be easier to say which is better.
A dark color would also be good, but a different one than the one you are showing.

I would do a narrow band ( dark purple) around first, the size of your strips, then maybe the lite solid you have or some other choice.....that dark purple print is not good......get a tonal not a print......it distracts from the focal point!

Personally I like the dark better but I think the print detracts from the pattern of the quilt. The same depth of color with a fabric that reads more as a solid would be better. However, who says you need a border? The quilt police? How does the pattern look without a border? I mostly make quilts without borders now. Just my preference. N
