I'm with you. I would prefer a darker purple that read as a solid, but would go with the light purple if those were my 2 choices.

I agree with her.

Definitely the dark....the lighter fabric just floats away.

I like the dark. It stops the quilt pattern and frames it better than the light. With the light, it seems like the colors of the quilt just bleed off the edge, there's no stopping or framing the quilt.

You are not alone. I agree with you. The light purple dose match better.
