I would use the purple as one and the blue polka dot as the outer boarder. The material for the wide boarder you have showing is a total different colour tone. The center of quilt is too bright for that muted wide boarder.

I wouldn't use the purple. The blocks in the quilt bleed into the border if matching fabrics touch. Besides, I love that blue bubble fabric. I used every smidgeon of mine - I see a trip to the quilt store in my future. I think your outer border will work with the blue to brighten it.

These are my thought too!

the blue makes the colors more vibrant than the purple

That's what I think too.

Oops was supposed to have the previous quote that said to use the purple and blue, but not the wide one you have as the outer. Coloring is to different.
Love the colors of the quilt though. Very cheery

I'm going to be totally different and say I like the polka dot as the first border, then the purple... that other mottled purple just isn't doing it for me... IMHO ;-)

I decided to order some more of the purple that is in the quit top for a border & for the backing. I will use the other material on another quilt.

Thanks for all the input!

like the blue polka dots better for the border.
