    The block on the bottom middle stands out because it has a border around it therefore I think a thin sashing of a green would look nice because there is so much purple in there already. On the outside I would use a dark purple about 1 1/2 inches. Good luck.

    Your quilt will be beautiful. Love the suggestions and the photo of a sample. I think I will use that idea on a quilt I have that needs to be finished.

    I would look for a batik that works well with it for sashing

    I'm going to go in a different direction, as I like the light lavender or white sheet that you laid the blocks out on, then use maybe a narrow 2" or so border, with purple as the outer border. Just a suggestion. It's going to be beautiful when it's done. Hope you share a picture of it when it's finished, as I'd love to see it.

    Here's another example that makes the blocks float. you could use green and purple. Then put a small border of green or purple and a wider one with the other fabric.

    The final outcome will be beautiful I am sure. All of the blocks are beautiful. Please keep us posted. Also, love your quilt inspector!!!

    I would use a narrow sash not more than 2inches wide when done, I would also use purple as the sash color.

    Perhaps a deep purple and an emerald green border alternating around each block. I love almost any shade of purple myself and although I am not a green lover most of the time, I really like lime, mint or emerald green with purple and also black. That is going to be lovely when finished, please remember to show us a pic of the finished quilt.
