Suffragette border on, ready to quilt

 After trying different colors and color combinations, I elected to just go with one purple border.  This is such an odd quilt, going for a simple border seemed best.  I wish it were a little longer,and that I'd made it 6x8!  One thing I learned from this sampler quilt along besides the wonderful history lessons, was that for sampler quilts fewer different fabrics is better.  I'll try and remember that on the next sampler!
hard to get a good picture....

I finished this top last night, so the lighting isn't very good.  Not sure what to do about border(s).  Pepper is taking care of my HST box - see how cozy it is?  also she was hiding from all the noise of the party last night (when I took the picture)!
