I think all it needs is the purple binding.

I think you nailed it... I am not sure if I thought of that or not... (very happy in your recommendation) going to check if I have enough. [=)

I have enough to corner stone with either print or solid purple.

I liked the plaid because it said "garden" to me.. but now maybe not...

I do't know if I like the decision process of making quilt. I think it's easier to order dinner from menu in new restaurant. =)

I agree. Maybe make the sashing in a print with one of the darker colors?

I like the darker purple cornerstones - not the print. And I too think you should bind it in the darkest color.
