Do a green border and bind in purple. It's just a little boo- boo, easily turned. Beautiful quilt.

I'm thinking a narrow white then a wider purple

My thoughts exactly!

Ditto!! Lovely colors on this quilt.

I like the quilt I see your toes lol

that boo boo is easily corrected before the quilting is done. i like the purple, but think maybe a smaller border of it and then the other would look nice, or small mottled (green?) and then larger purple

If you have enough of the fabric used for background squares, I would use that since the blocks would float. It can be 1" os so wide. My second choice would be a green. I would put the purple for an outer border. I would bind with the purple as well.

Found the boo boo but not real noticable unless you tell someone. I would put a small purple border, a wider cream border (to make the inner quilt stand out more) then bind in purple. Good luck. It's lovely. KEEP SEWING.

Purple outside border with a small inner "Flange" of burgandy ( sort of like pipping but not as much work), like the tape measure laying on the quilt.

Beautiful, I love the purple. It took me forever to find the boo, boo. I would have to find the seam ripper. I have changed my attitude when it comes to seam rippers. I fall in love with each of my quilts and they have to be as
perfect as possible. It is a me thing. Your quilt is beautiful.........
