It's gorgeous. Wish I could mess up like that.

Narrow purple, then pieced, then dark outer and bound with the same would be my choice.

Your choice of purple narrow inner border, then that fantastic pieced one, then purple would be a wonderful finish. Great quilt.

Thank you for seeing that! It’s amazing how something so glaring and wrong just totally gets missed! Glad you pointed it out before I got any further, a million thanks!

yep, picture number three for me too! It is beautiful, I don't think you will have any trouble re-homing this one! :)

maybe try a very skinny purple border, then the pieced border, and then a purple binding that finishes at the same width as the inner border?

I like the skinny solid purple, the pieced, the solid again. It's wonderful!

I think a small solid purple border would really frame and balance the top. I also really like your diamond border. Whether you put an additional small border or simply bind it in the same purple as the small inner frame would depend on if you needed the extra size. I personally would only do a small inner, the diamond and a binding - BUT - as we say often - it is your quilt and your decisions - nothing is the wrong way!

My thoughts exactly.

That is a stunning quilt! Beautiful! I did think the dark was black, but I can imagine the purple, which makes it even more gorgeous. I think I prefer the dark solid inner border and the dark/white diamonds as a final. But, frankly, all your "tryout's" look great and will work.....I probably like the yellow inner border least only because it's not as dramatic as the others.
