Opinion_Green or pink border?

My daughter is more drawn to cool colors, but loves the bright pink too, just not too much of it. Not finished yet, so top/bottom borders going on today.

I like the green. I love your quilt. Great color choices.

MaryMo 01-29-2012 11:05 AM

The green calms the quilt and the pink makes it pop. Beautiful fabrics together. Your daughter will love it.

AnnieH 01-29-2012 11:08 AM

She'll adore it.Beautiful work.

I had trouble seeing the green. I would go with the narrow strip of pink.

ShabbyTabby 01-29-2012 11:12 AM

I like the pink best IMHO it sets off the whole quilt

gus 01-29-2012 11:16 AM

I like the pink

barny 01-29-2012 11:18 AM

I really like the pink. Can't see the green.

Patchworkmarion 01-29-2012 11:19 AM

Lovely quilt.I'd go green

QuiltnNan 01-29-2012 11:22 AM

actually, if you are using just the width in the picture, i'd just use the pink for the binding. i think the pink makes the flowered border look more tied to the quilt.

mucky 01-29-2012 11:28 AM

I love the pink. Maybe just a tad narrower.

pink is my favorite!

geeblay627e120 01-29-2012 11:31 AM

Both look good. It is a beautiful quilt. I love all the colors.

Fraew 01-29-2012 11:52 AM

The pink finishes it off for me. Nice work.

DebbE 01-29-2012 12:05 PM

Can't see the green - it takes away from the quilt. The pink leads your eyes to the middle, and is like an exclamation point to a great quilt! Lovely!

nellybelle 01-29-2012 12:07 PM

I would use the green. But that is only my opinion, you do whichever one you like.

auntpiggylpn 01-29-2012 12:29 PM

I think the pink is perfect! It gives definition to the edges of the quilt.

paulettepoe 01-29-2012 01:08 PM

green...........

Karenowc 01-29-2012 01:45 PM

If you are talking about the binding, I love the pink. Had a hard time seeing the green.

Forgot to add - LOVE The quilt!

joyce888 01-29-2012 01:54 PM

I like the green since its a cooler color it won't be as overpowering as the pink

stitchinbee 01-29-2012 02:05 PM

I love the green color, however the pink gives it more definition. Btw, I sew love that quilt, the colors, the design, it's just very very pretty! :)

Sandra in Minnesota 01-29-2012 02:22 PM

I chose green because it is lighter and not noticeable.

twixbar 01-29-2012 02:25 PM

Ilike the green, lovely quilt.

LOL, the green matches the blue so closely I had to LOOK for it.

I'd do pink--------as a repeat of the inner pink border.

Scraps 01-29-2012 02:44 PM

Pretty quilt! I like the green!

Handcraftsbyjen 01-29-2012 02:54 PM

I like the pink best.

Dolphyngyrl 01-29-2012 03:02 PM

pink, green gets lost in fabric

breezyquilts 01-29-2012 03:03 PM

Very cute quilt. I love the colors. Have you thought about a slightly darker shade of the aqua color in the quilt?

Mariposa 01-29-2012 03:15 PM

Very pretty! I like the pink!!

QuiltingHaven 01-29-2012 03:26 PM

Love it just the way it is! Beautiful.

nativetexan 01-29-2012 03:27 PM

the green looks great. make her a matching pillowcase and put more of the pink in it.

noahscats7 01-29-2012 03:37 PM

Prefer the pink. I hardly noticed the green.

Marilynsue 01-29-2012 03:39 PM

I like the green border.

Thank you all for your input...Yes, I meant the binding...I think I am going for the pink, it does kind of frame everything up. I also forgot to mention that this is for my newest grandbaby coming in the next few weeks. My daughter has very definite tastes, so don't want to disappoint! She fell in love with the fabrics on the last baby quilt I made for my best friend's granddaughter, so I think she'll be pleased. Basting tomorrow and then quilting, YAY!

katsewnsew 01-29-2012 04:28 PM

Nice quilt, i would go with the pink!!!

I just checked out your blogspot and noticed where you live, I love that town! I have a good friend that lives in Clatskanie and whenever I visit, we always go there. Hope you're surviving the weather!

cheaha39 01-29-2012 04:52 PM

Geen, quites the quilt and makes it calm.

sewjoyce 01-29-2012 04:54 PM

I'd definitely do the pink but I love bright colors!

Mazda 01-29-2012 04:56 PM

Pink, I think.
