Yes!! Tartan, this was exactly my thought as well....repeat that scallop, for sure. :)

How about swag border ?

Aww, thank you all for advices!
A big fat purple border sounds good to me. Corner squares, too. Scalloped edges, too.
I have many ideas now because of you all!
Thanks so much!!!

I don't have any other ideas to add. I just wanted to say I love your quilt. It's so different and beautiful

How about a border opposite way of five minute section so you end up with a wavy edge in darK colour

I agree with Ginger K. I would keep with the openness of the inner quilt. It is beautiful too.

I would first put a white border to give distance to the purple then a thin purple and finish with a deep white, I guess I might duplicate the large corners and scallops to the final white border or it may just highlight the top to leave the borders plain. Whatever you do it is beautiful!

A lovely quilt. Love the color. No advice on borders.

lovely!
This quilt

uses borders to perfection

you might do scalloped edging, easier than it sounds. The quilt remains square, but when you sew on the normal binding you add 5"-ish strip of fabric. Then applique down that strip in scallops.

A scalloped binding would also work, but it is a lot more work :)
