I love your Asian fabrics

I am with Elle. More floral fabric would be beautiful.
How wide are you planning your borders for? What you show with the purple is way too wide.

My borders have to be wide, probably 8". Are you talking about the fabric with the mums in it? I didn't remember that it is a Robert Kaufman fabric, that was a FQ that I got a long time ago.

Yes thats the one I meant, it would blend with your green colours as it has a green background its just a lovely fabric.

The purple works with the black sashing and appears to have the same tone of brightness as many of the fabrics in the quilt. Can't wait to see it done now!!

I took a few pictures with the floral fabric with the mums, which do you like now? Purple or Floral? That small piece is all I have left of fabric. Thanks so much for your help with this.

I agree.

I love purple and the fabric is very pretty but it takes away from the quilt insides in my opinion. But it is your quilt and do what pleases you the most.
