The dark purple locks in the edge so the eye does not go floating off.

I am not a big fan of green, but I do think the green boarder makes the whole quilt pattern pop. You done a fantastic job on it.

awww.thank you!! I'm reading along..purple, green, green, green and you like my strips =)

I like the greenish too but wondered if it was to much with the triangle/border. To me the purplish isn't enough contrast with the darker redish border.

You got it on the nailhead, smiles, see you know what to do, just follow your instincts!!

I love Batiks. I am making a dresden with all batiks. I don't think the green does anything for the quilt. i think the purple brings it to life. My vote would be the purple.
