I like the second border :-P

Lovely so far! The purple border is great! The small piano keys border is a nice finishing touch. Either purple or a medium colors for binding too. :)

I love the colors.

I like the inner border and the variations around the outside, and I'm wondering if maybe it would flow nicely also to put the outside strips on a mitered angle instead of straight? It seems to me that the straight lines are almost at odds with the angles of your quilt. Beautiful quilt, love your colors!

Wow, lots and lots of opinions. This is gorgeous as pictured. I only wanted to add one point. The size I want the quilt to be usually dictates to me how many borders to put on. (And the width of said borders.) Your deep purple border is really striking and nice.

Love the purple border, and the small block border is great. Now just bind in the purple, using it one more time. Stunning quilt. Love all the batiks.

This is AWESOME!

It looks deep purple to me and looks nice I think. If you do another border I would come back with a little bit lighter shade of one of the colors in the quilt (maybe a lighter shade of purple or even pink) Then bind it with the dark purple again.
Very pretty. Be sure to show us what you do to finish it.

I like a strip pieced outer border but I would make that outer border wider
