I too vote for a border.

It doesn't "need" a border but a border wouldn't hurt. However, I think a narrow border would be too wimpy.

Beautiful quilt and colors. I would put a white border on it.

Border! So as to not shorten the look when binding it. Either 3" or 2 1/2" of med purple should work... u have enough dark already, I think

I am not an expert but would add a border with the same colors.

Lovely purples! I vote for a narrow stop border and then a 3" outer border following by a dark binding.

I would like a border...and I like helou's idea for a small pink and a larger darker border.

What a pretty creation. the colors you paired with the purple work great and you accomplished making a purple quilt with style. I agree with MadQuilter on the border.

If you have to make it bigger for size, I would add another row of blocks if you have enough fabric rather than a small border.

If you want to add a border for the effect, make it a wider than average one to give it some omph. Figure out how much fabric you have to work with and make the border as wide as it allows.

peace

I'm not normally a border person. But, this time, I vote YES for a border. I think the size you suggested in the darkest purple would finish it off nicely. Then a small print or stripe for the binding. (If you have any.)

I agree with helou the narrow pink border would really et it off.
