    Default Needing advise on border

    I'm needing opinions on my border. Which do you think looks better. The one with the white or the one without? I'm still fairly new to quilting so any suggestions or input would be sincerely appreciated.

    Me, I like the white thin border and the black fabric for binding. I have that same fabric and just love it! I personally think the purple and black together are too dark and the white in the quilt pops as a border.

    Like jparsels, I prefer the border without the white -- I think it is too stark a contrast.

    I prefer it without the white. Having said that, I would put the white first, then the other borders.

    I kind of like the white but it is rather a stark contrast - not much help. If using the white I would put it next to the small blueish border, then the purple then the black. It looks like the purple is already sewn on, so I probably wouldn't take it off. Wondering if you might have a green to go in between the purple and the black???

    What if you were to make the white thinner, like a flanch.

    I like the white, as in the second pic.
