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....
