Looking for border suggestions
 

I just put the last piece on this quilt top and am ready to start auditioning borders. I am totally blank, can only think of adding a purple border. I am open to any other suggestions....

It is a bit hard to tell, but there is a one inch continuation of the sashing all around the part I have done.

What might you do it this was your quilt? Thanks for any suggestions.

Very pretty - if it were mine, I'd finish it the way it is (no border).

I agree I like it simple w/o the extra border. I wouldn't add any unless I was needing size, even then I'd be more apt to add another row or column before a border.

I'm not a "scrappy"type quilter but I think if it were mine and I needed to add a border to finish to a desired size I would audition one made from all the fabrics I used in the design. I think my first possibility would be differing lengths pieced together diagonally with a small consistent piece from the sashing fabric acting as a "cornerstone" in between each pair of diagonally cut pieces. Am I making any sense? Sorry really tired tonight. My 1st choice would be no border if not needed to reach a certain size. Beautiful quilt!

I think, if the size is what you like, I would not use a border. Perhaps just another white strip around and then the white binding. It's a beautiful layout! ...and the colors are really nice.

i like both cybrarian's and tatan's suggestions. great quilt!

Just the way it is....or if need larger....piano keys around it with white interspersed

Lots of great suggestion but what size do you want this quilt to achieve??

Really pretty quilt. Usually like borders but if it is right size then a white strip and bind in white. If it isn't big enough, then I would opt for wider white border and let the colors sing as they are now.
