border with or without piping

I'm making a quilt for my nephew who is getting married in July. Their home decor colours are neutrals with turquoise to add colour. I have the quilt top done, which measures approx 80 x 100 without borders. The backing is turquoise, on the blue side.I'm debating on whether or not I should add a bit of turquoise piping between the top and the border. Was thinking 1/4". Fold 1" strip in half wrong sides together and sew it down, then add the border. The piping would also get a bit more stability to the set-in triangles so they don't stretch on me.I've taken a few pictures of the top, with and without the turquoise and added them in my "In Progress" folder.I'd appreciate your thoughts and any suggestions.Ann

Definitely with piping, but I'm not sure about the turquiose. Odd, it's one of my favorite colors. Have a look at lime green and see what you think. Love the top! Roberta in D
