I personally prefer the purple.

I vote purple

I vote for the purple too.

I made a border quilt from our Brown Bag Project a couple of years ago in Guild. A friend helped me, as I was just new to Guild. It is my favorite quilt now.
I just had a center motif of Fall Leaves--a large piece. I just used borders of the different colors in the center piece, and it turned out beautiful.
Since I was pressed for time, I tied it. Have had lots of compliments on it.
Using Borders can get more involved. I am making another border quilt now. One border is from a pattern I got from The Internet and another is one I made up. They both trned out well. I intersperced them with just block borders and straight pieces again from the center block.
It is an enjoyable way to make a quilt, and you can get as creative as you like, or keep it simple.
Good Luck!

I can send a pic of my Border Quilt of Fall Leaves if you let me know at above address.

I like the purple. It has a bit more "umph" to it.

I vote purple also.... it just pulls it all together

Purple is the one I would choose. A dark purple 1 1/2" stop border and then a lighter purple for the final border.

i vote for the lighter purple

I like the purple border. If you have enough fabric, I would use BOTH the light and dark purple. I think the dark inner border, then the light for the outer border.

It's hard to get a clear picture of your dark purple, but I have lots of dark purples in my stash. Can you send me a picture of the purple to [email protected]
