I vote for white dots for border and brown dots for binding. :)

I agree. I think the white makes the quilt pop. The brown blends in too much. If you use the brown, I think you need a narrow border of the white between the quilt and the outer border and bind in the pink.

If I had enough fabric, I would do a narrow border in the pink to frame it without overwhelming it, then the brown polka dot for a wider border. But I love the look of a small border then a larger one.

My choice would be a very narrow strip of the pink then a wider strip of the multi on white and use the brown dots for binding.

I like white polka dots, I too think the brown blends too much with the solid brown, the white does pop more, also agree the pink binding

I'm with this gal. I like the lighter polka dots and the pink or even the brown for the border.
