I agree. Turquoise skinny inner border/ Purple outer border. :-)

Purple, and this is an honest answer because purple isn't a color I usually like. It seems to pull the whole quilt together and it's very calming. Nice job.

I think turquoise would break it up and make it look nicer and if you wanted, you could use the purple for the binding.

How about a 1" border of the blue and then the wider purple.. Quilt is very nice.

I agree with the person who said use both. A skinny turquoise and then the purple.

As you've got the purple inner border, I'd also go w/ the turquoise. Depending on what you want to use up and how large you want it to be, I'd go narrow turquoise, wider purple & bind in purple.
