I think the darker purple.

It's just my opinion for you to take or leave...but I think an awesome finishing binding would be either the stripe print or the green. Either of these would "frame" and finish your lovely creation. The floral print seems too light for the finishing edge. The purple doesn't give the eye a "framed" edge, rather just keeps going.

Beautiful quilt no matter what you decide to do. :)

Very pretty. Often times I match the binding with the same fabric as the border. Do what pleases you and you will be happier with it.

The green would look great as the binding!

What a beautiful quilt. I would use the backing fabric for the border.

I like the idea of the floral print as the binding.

I agree. This way the binding becomes part of the design rather than a thin strip of material doing a job. If you haven't got enough of the striped material or the green for the whole quilt you can alternate lengths of them

I think the purple backing would be a great binding. Otherwise, the striped fabric on the bias. Very pretty quilt/colors.
