I like the purple/hot pinkish mix together...

Kallen 07-20-2011 12:27 PM

I love the green best too.

Debo 07-20-2011 12:45 PM

I vote for the green.

ButtermilkMama 07-20-2011 12:57 PM

I like the green.. It's my favorite color for quilts!!

MaggieMeg 07-20-2011 01:07 PM

Definitely the green.

oldcottontop 07-20-2011 01:39 PM

green

quiltingnana59 07-20-2011 01:47 PM

I like the green, too but I also think piecing the border with all the colors would work well.

jshorty 07-20-2011 01:50 PM

I really like the colors you choose. Tough decision. When looking at it on wall I'm leaning towards purple

Sheree from Chicago 07-20-2011 03:09 PM

I personally wouldn't add a border but if I had to pic.......... it would be purple. It is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

Jammin' Jane 07-20-2011 03:12 PM

Both work well!
Which color do you like better, green or purple?
Go with that!!!

Homemother 07-20-2011 03:14 PM

Sounds like an echo in here: I like purple better, but love the green for the quilt boarder!

craftynell 07-20-2011 04:06 PM

The purple is the best. Beautiful quilt.
I love it!!!

B Jane 07-20-2011 05:05 PM

gorgeous fabric!

Alondra 07-20-2011 05:33 PM

I vote for the green!

Green is setting this off nicely

boysmomoflabs 07-20-2011 06:13 PM

Thank you everyone! I chose the green~

That was exactly going to say the same thing.

larkspurlanedesigns 07-20-2011 06:20 PM

I like the purple border. Beautiful quilt!

Quiltylady 07-20-2011 06:28 PM

I like both. I would do one corner in green and the opposing corner in purple. Half and half.

Shirlrh 07-20-2011 06:37 PM

Love the purple. Great job!

Quiltaddict 07-20-2011 07:49 PM

The green seems to flow better. The purple is pretty but seems choppy. IMHO

grandmajuki 07-20-2011 07:59 PM

I like purple but the green is just a good looking!

The one you're calling greenish is my choice.

fireworkslover 07-20-2011 08:23 PM

I like the green outer border . It really pops!

hpylady 07-20-2011 09:08 PM

I not a green person as much as I am a purple person. lol
BUT the green fits in so well. I would go with the green for this one.

BTW, it is beautiful! :thumbup:

lauriequilts 07-20-2011 10:28 PM

Very neat quilt. I love the green.

ladyshuffler 07-20-2011 10:47 PM

The purple one is my choice.....makes the center POP..........the green border makes it washed out....already enough green.

Gerbie 07-20-2011 11:19 PM

I like the green best even though purple is my favorite color, I'm with Lilrain, the magenta and purple do not mix well together. Have you tried black to see what it looks like? Looks like you have some in the quilt then you could use the green for the back - love your pattern by the way.

Kitsapquilter 07-21-2011 12:08 AM

The greenish seems to look best to me. The purple looks a little washed out to me! It is pretty but just not for the border on that quilt! The quilt is lovely though!

GladGrams 07-21-2011 01:38 AM

Depends on what you are trying to achieve. The green is deeper and richer, while the purple is brighter. Hope this helps. I like them both. I prefer the green for the richness :thumbup:

lovedquilts 07-21-2011 04:12 AM

green

4girlsmimi 07-21-2011 05:15 AM

I love purple, so that's my vote!

Pat75 07-21-2011 08:12 AM

The dark purple locks in the edge so the eye does not go floating off.

Halo 07-21-2011 03:18 PM

I am not a big fan of green, but I do think the green boarder makes the whole quilt pattern pop. You done a fantastic job on it.

Me too

laalaaquilter 07-21-2011 05:10 PM

Definitely greenish. Beautiful quilt!

awww.thank you!! I'm reading along..purple, green, green, green and you like my strips =)

I like the greenish too but wondered if it was to much with the triangle/border. To me the purplish isn't enough contrast with the darker redish border.

You got it on the nailhead, smiles, see you know what to do, just follow your instincts!!

wildyard 07-21-2011 05:14 PM

And by the way, I LOVEEEEEEE your quilt, the colors are awesome and it is beautiful!!!

quilter_kjm 07-21-2011 05:14 PM

I love Batiks. I am making a dresden with all batiks. I don't think the green does anything for the quilt. i think the purple brings it to life. My vote would be the purple.
