    I think it's perfect the way it is.

    Leave it just the way you've got it. Another border would be way too much for the braids to compete with. Love it!!! 8-)

    Since you have the one purple border...I would doe a 2" with the other fabric your show and then a 3 or 4 inch of the dark purpose around that.

    I like the darker colors on the ends because they're soo close to the floor.

    Just a thought.

    Great colors....great quilt.

    Make sure you set a number for the raffle. If you are wanting $1000. then calculate how many tickets at a certain price would it take to get to that amount.
    I love your quilt and think you did a good job.
    Good luck with the raffle.

    It's beautiful!!! Question first: Does your group have a minimum size for a raffle quilt? If not, then just go with what you have. It's gorgeous!!! If you need just a few more inches, then add a purple border, same as your sashing.

    Gorgeous!!

    The border fabric shown is perfect and the quilt is a great size to wrap around on a chilly day. Beautiful quilt.

    I think it is beautiful and would just complete it the way you planned. The size is plenty big for a raffle.

    If anything at all I would just add another border, maybe wider at the top and bottom, but I would personally leave it as it is, It will make a lot of raffle money, its great
