    2. Add a narrow white border around the blocks to make them float. Make four blue/white four-patch blocks, set them in the corners, and run stripes of white and blue the long way so they alternate with the four-patch.

    Great ideas - I think I might try option 2 with the next quilt I'm trying to sketch out, and I like #1 for this one. Need to sketch it out to see if I have enough fabric left or need to go shopping again...
    Slainte!

    Definitely no to the purple. It doesn't seem to match anything in the quilt top. I think it depends on how large you want the quilt as to how many or how wide you make the borders. It's a cute top.
