I think if you use a purple binding and use purple thread to do a quilting design in the white, it would look great. Maybe whatever pattern you use for the outer border repeat it in a smaller version at the 6 white intersections inside the quilt to pull it together. I am suggesting something subtle that would show up and yet not detract from the very pretty dresdens.

I think I'm going to echo quilt in white in the white areas (I'm worried that purple would be too much with all the movement in the fabrics). I will probably echo purple in the Dresdens. And then echo the scallops in white on the borders.
I really appreciate the input and the votes of confidence

I agree with previous comments. The ideas of adding half-dresdens, mini-dresdens, colored quilting in the borders all crossed my mind. Please post your finished quilt. I'm sure whatever you choose will just add to it.
