I like it without the pink. Love the butterfly fabric.

My choice would be with out thepink.

Your border print seems to have all (or at least most) of the colours from the Trip bloocks in the centre. The darkness with the print helps to frame it all up and show it off nicely.

If you haven't cut your border print yet, I'd suggest that you mitre the corners for an even nicer touch!

Great idea but to late! I haven't done very many mitered borders and I didn't even think of doing that. It woud have worked beautifully had I just thought about it longer. Thanks for the idea. I will keep a large note for the next project pinned to my wall!

I thought maybe you were beyond the point of no return, though was hoping you weren't! Sometimes we get ideas after the fact ... and just have to wait til another quilt!! :) (ask me how I know?:))

I like them both??? Perhaps 2 borders??

I'm on the side that says leave out the pink paisley. I would just leave the gorgeous purple only.

I vote without the pink even tho it is very pretty fabric. The dark already has it framed. To me the pink opens it back up. But either way it is your quilt and it is beautiful.
