purple, also!

Have you tried using black as the inner border, then a wide border in either purple or blue?

edited to add: Bargello's are all about movement....I have to vote purple. Keep the movement going.

I'm a purple person as well!

They are both beautiful, but I think the purple makes the purple in the quilt pop. Beautiful job on the quilt too.

I ended up deciding that the purple just "spoke to me" more. So purple it is. Thanks for all of the comments. I really appreciate all of the help.

Purple - less invasive, blends better - but that's just me! Wonderful work Dina!
Oh, I see I'm not alone!

Been following your progress. Quilt is just beautiful!! I like both but the purple better!

I like the purple better.

Purple, love the purple

Purple for me

cannyquilter 06-19-2015 01:58 AM

Blue for me. It seems to give a dimension to the quilt .

Debbie C 06-19-2015 03:03 AM

Why not use both? Blue first, then purple then the black?

katesnanna 06-19-2015 03:33 AM

I may be in he minority but I vote for the blue. Fabulous quilt.

nlgh 06-19-2015 03:44 AM

You have more blue than purple in the body of the quilt. The blue does stop the movement of the bargello and makes the blue pop. The purple seems to leave the movement unfinished or hanging in mid-air so to speak. I like the blue better.

Does it need an inner border at all? Border it with black and let the bargello stand alone. The purple and the blue both compete with your design--my opinion anyhow. This is a gorgeous quilt. Hmmm--putting it on a chair. Will it make a difference what the inner border is? Won't it be folded and hidden?

Purple! Nice work.

Billy'swife 06-19-2015 04:26 AM

My choice is blue, but I'm not a "purple person". I agree that the purple blends into the black and doesn't frame as well as the blue. Beautiful though.

lindaschipper 06-19-2015 04:33 AM

Blue....but then the choice is really yours isn't it?

Nanoo 06-19-2015 04:47 AM

I like the purple much better.

crafty-kid 06-19-2015 05:25 AM

Purple....What did you go with to complete the quilt?

southernmema 06-19-2015 05:40 AM

Purple does it for me!

Sharonquilts 06-19-2015 06:05 AM

I vote for blue ... even thought you've decided to go with purple. Either way, your quilt is beautiful.

shasta5718 06-19-2015 06:13 AM

Purple makes it pop.

msrosecooks 06-19-2015 06:54 AM

Purple is the one I like.

linhawk 06-19-2015 07:21 AM

I love bright so blue for me too.

tlpa 06-19-2015 07:30 AM

I like the purple, but the blue is also nice.

feffertim 06-19-2015 07:31 AM

i like the blue

Dina 06-19-2015 08:05 AM

Again, thanks for all the votes! I ended up selecting purple. It just "spoke to me" more. :) After changing my mind over and over, it felt really good to make a decision.

I like the blue - it lighens up the quilt

MargeD 06-19-2015 09:48 AM

I personally like the purple border and not just because I like purple. The purple border gives the quilt some jazz.

Carol34446 06-19-2015 10:10 AM

Purple, love that color blue but purple makes it pop more.

Jingle 06-19-2015 10:38 AM

I like either one. Beautiful quilt.

fivepaws 06-19-2015 10:44 AM

I am in the purple category too.

mojo11 06-19-2015 12:30 PM

I like both but I think the purple sets if off.

giquilt 06-19-2015 02:22 PM

I like purple

wildyard 06-19-2015 02:56 PM

both? ?????

paoberle 06-19-2015 03:54 PM

Either. Which one do you keep going back to? That's the one to choose.

Nana to 8 06-19-2015 04:23 PM

Liked them both. But I like purple more just. Beautiful quilt.:)

Helen6869 06-19-2015 04:28 PM

I guess I'm going against the tide here but I really like the blue one. It just sets the quilt in motion to me. Can't wait to see it finished. It's gorgeous!

Jackie R 06-19-2015 04:28 PM

Blue has my vote.
