time to add borders...

I just finished the "middle" part of this quilt top. I really like it, but I am not so sure of the border suggestions that come with it. I will play with ideas, of course, but what do you think of the ones the pattern recommends. It calls for a three inch inner white border (it is really a white on white, but it doesn't show up too well), then a one inch blue border, and then an outer border of four inches of the focus fabric.
I was thinking of leaving the white border out. This quilt already has a lot of white in it. ??
Suggestions? Thanks.

I'd do an inch wide purple first to contain the colors before I used any of the fabrics in the quilt. The quilt colors will bleed into the border colors without a stopper strip. Then you can do a wide focal fabric with a blue binding. I like pieced borders lately, but they are more work. Maybe just some nine patch corners?
