mkc brings up an interesting point. Keepsake's site does show the border with the dark on the inside, but the pattern shows it on the outside. Did someone make a "mistake" with Keepsake's BOM, or was it a "design decision"?

Dark to the inside -

Dark to the outside -

From those two sites - i definitely prefer dark to the inside.

Yes, I also like the left side best. My opinion for what its worth, I'd take the right one off and turn it around to the dark is on the outside. With the light sashing next to it make it seem like its blending from light to dark.

I MUCH prefer the right side border. Maybe I'm looking at it upside-down LOL.

It's a beautiful quilt!

*** Love the quilt & color, but I would turn it around.

I love that Fresh Lilacs fabric. I made a quilt last year using it and it turned out beautiful.
Although you can just leave the right border and make the rest match it, I do prefer the look of the one on the left better. So if you're not adverse to doing a bit of ripping, I'd say rip it out and turn it around.

If you look, those are actually 2 different patterns.

Keepsake's is "Fresh Lilacs Color Play". Shabby Fabrics is "Fresh Lilacs"

The OP appears to have made the Keepsake pattern, and the original sewn-on border is correct for that pattern.

(and I still like the left version better ;-) )

Either way is good, that is one pretty quilt Marcia!

Lovely quilt and I do like the left side border.

It is beautiful - I would make the borders lay the same direction.
