    Making the purple border narrower & adding a yellow one would be pretty yoo.

    I agree about making the purple border MUCH thinner and then use that dominant green as a wider 2nd border...then the floral again as the binding?

    Yes, the border needs to frame to quilt. I would use the green.

    I love your top. Very pretty. I see you already made your decision & that was what I was going to suggest too like the others. Great job on the top

    I think I would put the lavender first and then the floral and bind in green.

    Try a green border in the same green. I think the lavender is too much. Nice work on the quilt.

    I think there's not enough lavender in the fabric to make this border work. I, too, would use either the green or maybe a yellow in the flower or one of the corals. Your quilt is lovely! Great fabric choices and piecing!
