    Beautiful quilt, tough call, but I agree with Joe'smom it's the flowers that disrupt the darker purple.

    I think the dark sets it off better. To me, the light just kind of lets it fade away.

    I would go with a dark, but with a blender fabric rather than a busy print.

    I like the dark one, it also picks up some of the lighter purple in its flowers.

    I would like a thin border of the light followed by a dark that goes better.

    Why not a narrow light border first, then the dark?
