I'm in the minority I know :-) but I vote for w/out. All my eye sees are the buttons. And in the quilt w/out I am drawn to the beautiful fall colors. Truth be told, either is beautiful. Do what make you joyous.

It's really gorgeous! I prefer the buttons myself. Beautiful work.

With the buttons ! It is beautiful!

Love ❤️ the buttons!

The buttons add so much to your beautiful work!

Without the buttons.

Buttons for sure. Do you have some pink or yellow ones to match the background fabric?

With...love the buttons!!

I like the buttons, but they definitely become a feature, and if I were going to use them, would try to find more interesting ones.

Love the edging you did on this. It's beautiful
