I knew there was a reason I was not totally pleased with the strip. You put it into works for me. You are right. I get the feeling that it is fighting for attention and draws away from the quilt itself. So I believe I will go with the print instead. Thanks for all of the opinions. I will post again once the borders are on. I am planning on going back for more of the purple for the back and binding.

I vote for the small print. I think the striped border will take away from the drama of the print top. Where as the small print will highlight it. Either way it will be and is gorgeous.

I like the solid blue and then the striped for a thinning middle or outside border.
I just think that any print detracts from the design you used in the quilt. Putting a solid... the purple first frames it beautifully and then the strip or other frames it again and finishes it off.

I definitely like the strip print better. Makes it more interesting. Whatever you choose, it is a darling quilt. Love your colors.
