That's exactly what I was thinking - purple! Maybe even a little darker shade than the one on the quilt top. C9P

Ditto

I like it without.

I agree with everyone else. Save the brown for another project. The darker purple will really set the quilt off. Very pretty quilt, by the way.

No brown.

I agree, w/o the brown.

my vote: leave out the brown border!

With out the brown. I had to laugh when I saw your question though. I think you meant borders, not boarders! We all make our share of spelling mistakes on the computer, me too! Diane C

Without the brown

THE TOP ONE - NO BROWN PLEASE

WITHOUT....IMHO, this detracts from what is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL quilt.

without

I think you need something, but the brown isn't it.

I would use purple & not the brown

Without for sure.... I love it though... have a preference for purples too. It is soooooo cooling.

Without the brown, purple would be nice. Beautiful quilt.

I totally agree.

No Brown, i like the purple idea.

you need something to separate the border from the quilt put the darker purple you have on the stars in the middle then it ties all the colours together. Very nice job...

Don't think it really needs the brown.

I rather like it with the brown...but I seem to have preferences for structure and symmetry. It is beautiful either way.

without the brown, I'm with the purple

Ditto, sorry that brown is not a good choice, in your pic anyway.

Without the brown.

I agree with many others about using a sm. purple border next to the quilt pattern. It frames your quilt. It's like matting it before the borders.

Agree!.

Without the brown. Beautiful quilt.

no brown. A small border of the purple would fit nicely.

Without brown, please!

You can find this pattern free at www.maryquilts.com

Check out all her free patterns along the left side. GREAT site! This quilt is 'churn dash and stars'. I sent her a picture of mine, and she put it on the bottom of that page!

Definitely without the brown. Since this is bugging me, let me say borders are spelled without an a. Boarders are people who stay at your house and you feed. That's my rant for the day. Very pretty quilt. glenda

I agree.

No brown. Purple would be pretty.

I would use the darker lavendar/purple that is in the stars for the first narrow border, then the light lavendar and green binding.. JMHO

Both will be beautiful but for myself I would omit the brown

Me too!

I agree with this idea myself. Not too fond of the brown with it.

Without the brown.

without the brown

Use a 1.5" strip of the dark purple in your quilt in place of the brown. With no brown in the quilt, the brown looks a bit out of place, but the purple would set it off to a tee! Beautiful quilt!!!
