LOL that "final polka dot border" is actually a vintage chenille bedspread underneath the ugly quilt. No, it's the whole thing that doesn't work for me---the colors, the blocks, that big ugly basket thingy.---it's just too cutesy country for my taste. To me it looks they were trying to come up with a country pattern and failed miserably.
