If you decide to use a border, I would use the darkest purple. . She is going to love it.

I think it's your choice. Personally, I'd probably leave it the way it is. Just bind it and gift. Whatever you decide, I'm sure your purple loving sis will love it.

I would border it. I would audition one side with just a dark purple border (the same size as your strips) and the other side with a border of the lighter pink/purple and then the dark color. The colors blend very nicely and I'm sure she will be pleased with the balance the pinkish and bluish ones give it, but if she is a purple person, then it should have a dark purple border.

I think it looks okay the way it is.

A border is like a picture frame. So yes, I think a border of maybe 4-5 inches would be nice.

I often don't use a border, but I think one would add to the beauty of this quilt. I like the idea of a narrow pink one, then a wider purple one. Great looking quilt you made!

I think it would look nice with a small framing border and then add a darker wider (3" would be a great size) border. Maybe if you audition a couple of different ways something just will click visually for you. Good luck and lucky sister.

I agree! As I always ask "what size do I want this guilt to be?" That will help determine my borders.

Yes, 2 borders, 1 dark, 1 light. Dark to frame, light to make it bigger. Unless you don't want it bigger.

Without any border, that is going to be one narrow quilt! consider making more blocks, then I would put a narrow border, 1" or so, followed by a wider border about 5-6 inches. Have a beautiful design quilted in the border and it won't be "boring."
