    I am with the minority...a strong dark color first to frame the quilt and if you are up to it ...then white, a pink plus bold binding. If this is too much work then I would go with a dark first then your white and a pink binding.

    A sweet top and I also agree with Jan. White and pink. Keeping the borders simple will let the great blocks shine and it is in keeping with the style of the quilt.

    I would bind it with the same pink or maybe a scrappy using all the focus fabrics from the blocks to mimic the sashings.
    A great quilt.
    peace

    I would use a white tone on tone or perhaps a white with a dainty pink flower. Very cute.

    I would just quilt and bind. I don't think another border is needed.

    I vote for the white and then pink. But if you are afraid white is too bright, I like the idea of the green also, then the pink. It needs something before the pink IMO. (In my opinion.) Adorable little quilt. I have had on my list to make a wall hanging with dresses or something some day.

    I suggest white to create an inner frame, then the pink. Just as Jan suggested. I really like your quilt thus far.

    I love the first picture and I would sure audition some greens - just to see if it would add or take away from the overall look. You know that white is always an option.
