Excuse the piecing, after I started cutting the strips I learned about starch. Some are "off", some are ok.
Anyway, I need thoughts on the outside border choice, either the greenish or the purplish. |
I'm a huge purple fan but, I really like the green as the boarder!
|
I would piece the border, use strips of each.
|
Purple is my favorite color but I was instantly drawn to the Green!!
|
I like the green too. The dark of the print enhances the quilt better than I think the purple does.
|
They both would work fine...I like the contrast of the small purple next to that green one.
|
I like the green.
|
I liked the purple but the green is nice to.
|
I don't see anything wrong with your strips. The quilt top is just wonderful
|
Green!
|
I like the green... it ties everything together

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. |
I like the green
|
Thanks everyone!! You've confirmed what I was thinking. This means I need to go to the LQS again =), the green was supposed to be the back. *sigh*, guess I'll just have to buy something else......*giggles*

the green is better. the purple and the inner magenta border kind of moosh together
|
I like the green better.
|
Green gets my vote. Beautiful quilt!
|
I'm gonna go against the flow and say purple!!!

I'm inclined to go with the purple - it looks livelier (sp?).
The green is nice but seeing as the background is this colour, to me having the border green I think is a little to much. |
I like the green. I think it makes the small purple/pink inner border stand out. I love the quilt...it's beautiful
|
I really like the green. Love your quilt.
|
i vote for purple
|
I like the green!!! Beautiful quilt!!
|
I think the purple draws out more colors. Beautiful !
|
My 2 favorite colors! Go with the green
|
I don't know, I like them both!!

I too like the green. If you have to go to the LQS for more fabric use that purple on the backing add a few strips to the green fabric a surprise on the backside of the quilt.
|
Love the quilt! Beautiful colors. I live the green for the border.
|
Green pulls it all together. Pretty quilt.
|
Green's ahead =)
|
green. maybe you can do binding in the purple. great, great quilt!!!

Thanks everyone, I'll use the green for the boarder, keep the rest of that 2.5 yds and the purple 1.5 yds for my stash =D
Maybe a dark magenta "ish" for the backing. |

Purple is my signature color, but in this instance, I'd use the green. It ties the whole thing together. And, i don't see anything wrong with your piecing either!
|
The green looks like it belongs there
|
yeah, I like the green too...
