    Very pretty, I like any way you choose to put it together.

    Purple for sure! The others sort of fade away while the purple frames it nicely.

    Beautiful quilt!!

    I too think having the extra purple in the outer border helps stabilize it more .

    Photo 2 or 3, with a slight preference for 3. Go with your gut—I agree with your leaning.

    lovely quilt! I prefer the dark inner border, pieced and then dark outer border. 2nd choice would be yellow, pieced and dark inner border.

    What a beautiful quilt and I agree with others, you didn't get the color placement "wrong", it's perfect. I'm not sure you've noticed, but it looks like you have a purple/white square where it doesn't belong. On the left of the center medallion, i believe it should be a yellow square.

    Your choice of purple narrow inner border, then that fantastic pieced one, then purple would be a wonderful finish. Great quilt.

    I'd go with the green inner border. It is a continuation of the quilt body itself. I find the purple to be a bit stark and sort of stands on its own with the pieced border and the outer one. I find it looking like it was created on its own rather than to highlight your beautiful top. It may be, too, that the quilt looks different in the picture than in actual light. Bottom line--you choose as, when a person asks for opinions, you get mixed answers! Are you now even more confused? At least, you find that the yellow didn't win any votes!

    Yeah, that one...me too. You did a fabulous job piecing and I love the pattern. Don’t forget to post a finished photo.
