UFO border help
 
5 Attachment(s)
I have one UFO from this year, and it bugs me enough to want to finish it, and find a home for it. First it needs a good presss so I apologize for the wrinkles. The original pattern has a solid border, but I messed up this quilts color selection (the dark is actually a beautiful deep purple) and the purple should be where the green is. Anyway, I felt the solid border was meh and here is my effort to balance my poor choice. I’m leaning towards the purple inner border, then the pieced border, and the purple for the binding and done, but wanted to get feedback from the experts here, because obviously I’m in need of better attention color placement.

I like the purple sash, then SIS and then final purple. Really sets off the body of the quilt.

I like the purple inner border better. It seems to really set off the blocks. Very pretty quilt!

I also vote for the purple inner border. The other colors seemed to disappear & I had to go back to find them.

oh my, second or third photo look great. It is a lovely quilt. I like it the way you did it, so be proud. It looks lovely!!

I am so glad you 'messed up the colour selection' because I think having the purple where the green is, would have been very heavy and dark. It is lovely and striking as it is now. My vote is also for the narrow inner purple border and then the pieced border and purple binding. It is going to look awesome!

Lovely top and I prefer the purple inner border, then pieced border and purple last border and bind with purple but any of the combinations look nice.
