    Green it sets off your narrow purple border

    The contrast is better that way.

    I would also use black, probably as binding.

    I LOVE this pattern and your color choices. Your fabrics are gorgeous and you've done an excellent job piecing this. Well Done! This is going to look fabulous when it's all done. BTW, the green gets my vote...though if you could do both somehow that would look good too.

    Ditto! Normally I would say the purple, but that green really makes that inside boarder pop.

    Thanks, can't take credit for the pattern, saw a quilt on the internet, the fabrics were an LQS selection of 40 strips.

    I did learn a valuable lesson using starch (from this board). Ever so much easier and accurate!

    as with many purple is my fav. color, but I'd do the border in the green it is much more visable against the other colors.

    green ... the purple blends in with the other purple border.
