The green seems to flow better. The purple is pretty but seems choppy. IMHO

The one you're calling greenish is my choice.

The purple one is my choice.....makes the center POP..........the green border makes it washed out....already enough green.

I like the green best even though purple is my favorite color, I'm with Lilrain, the magenta and purple do not mix well together. Have you tried black to see what it looks like? Looks like you have some in the quilt then you could use the green for the back - love your pattern by the way.

The greenish seems to look best to me. The purple looks a little washed out to me! It is pretty but just not for the border on that quilt! The quilt is lovely though!

Depends on what you are trying to achieve. The green is deeper and richer, while the purple is brighter. Hope this helps. I like them both. I prefer the green for the richness :thumbup:
