It is gorgeous! Good luck in the competition & please show us a pic when you finish.

I think if you use a purple binding and use purple thread to do a quilting design in the white, it would look great. Maybe whatever pattern you use for the outer border repeat it in a smaller version at the 6 white intersections inside the quilt to pull it together. I am suggesting something subtle that would show up and yet not detract from the very pretty dresdens.

I think I'm going to echo quilt in white in the white areas (I'm worried that purple would be too much with all the movement in the fabrics). I will probably echo purple in the Dresdens. And then echo the scallops in white on the borders.

I really appreciate the input and the votes of confidence :)

This is what came to my mind too tartan. It would really add that something, something.

Love this idea too!

I think it's perfect the way it is. Adding more might make it too busy. Very pretty!

You have done a beautiful work of art. I also like Tartan's idea of the scalloped borders and purple binding.

Beautiful quilt and one of my favorite colors. What about doing a drunkards path block in the border but keep it pretty small. Hope you understand what I am talking about.

I agree with previous comments. The ideas of adding half-dresdens, mini-dresdens, colored quilting in the borders all crossed my mind. Please post your finished quilt. I'm sure whatever you choose will just add to it.

I like Tartan's idea. Good luck with it.
