I vote for a combo of the dark and light. The yellow is happy and the dark dramatic. Why not audition the yellow next to the white with the black on the outside and binding of red?

I agree, would set everything off.

Yellow! It's so bright and cheery.

Gets my vote too!

BTW, great idea!

Yellow with the darker as binding.

Love the yellow but maybe if you added one small border of the dark fabric just before the yellow might bring all the fabrics together. Nice quilt.

cpcarolyn 03-22-2014 06:53 AM

I like the blue. Great quilt.

nana2madmax 03-22-2014 07:53 AM

A little yellow goes a long way, I vote for the blue

shasta5718 03-22-2014 08:05 AM

The yellow makes it pop and the blue subdues it.

gramquilter2 03-22-2014 08:48 AM

Love your Dresden quilt and I would use the dark border.

MargeD 03-22-2014 08:55 AM

I'd go with the yellow bandana fabric. Your quilt is awesome, love all your bandana fabrics.

Wanabee Quiltin 03-22-2014 09:04 AM

I really like both. The yellow catches your eye, but I know that a little yellow goes a long way........

KarenJ 03-22-2014 09:51 AM

How about a narrow blue border and then the yellow? I like them both!

pam7858 03-22-2014 10:15 AM

I like the yellow. Makes the ducks pop! I'd put narrow border of dark, and then wider of yellow

Friday1961 03-22-2014 10:52 AM

Both are great! Why not use both? A narrow border of the yellow with wider of the blue....or vice versa. The yellow accentuates the yellow in the plates and the blue does the same with the blue. It will be gorgeous whatever you decide because your quilt is beautiful.

Mariah 03-22-2014 10:52 AM

Love 'em all, and it is so pretty! I would go with the Blue. It would make the lighter colors stand out. Just my idea;
all of the colors are great! Mariah

Madgie Rae 03-22-2014 11:34 AM

Have to say I like dunster's idea . . . a yellow border just beyond the red . . . then the dark. Gonna be a darlin' throw!

quiltingcandy 03-22-2014 11:34 AM

I like the Navy better - it makes the yellows in the quilt pop.

Maureen 03-22-2014 12:33 PM

I like the yellow. Where did you get the bandana fabric? I love it?

lfstamper 03-22-2014 12:42 PM

Blue for me!

RIDGEFIELD 03-22-2014 02:51 PM

The yellow really brings out the other colors.

nls 03-22-2014 03:13 PM

Small yellow border than a wider blue border.

quiltingnonie 03-22-2014 03:25 PM

I agree with dunster....thin yellow border, then the blue.

FroggyinTexas 03-22-2014 03:30 PM

I was so taken with your bandana prints that when I ran across some at Wal Mart, I bought enough to emulate your quilt top. Of course, it won't be exactly like yours, but I hope it is as pretty in its own way. froggyintexas

nise 03-22-2014 03:51 PM

I like the yellow

cindynvb 03-22-2014 04:08 PM

I love the yellow too, but I opt for a double border. That's my favorite way to border a quilt.

sewingsuz 03-22-2014 05:52 PM

I would put two boarders. the yellow first and then the darker. I love your bandana quilt. It is very pretty. You did a great job.

judy363905 03-22-2014 05:58 PM

I am thinking yellow. Just makes your plates sing. Lovely job on quilt and a fun idea for the blades :)

A very narrow yellow border, then a wider navy border.

I'm partial to blue so I like the darker but agree with Dunster . The yellow is pretty and agree with others as it made me smile but I love the blue...your quilt is great!

nwm50 03-24-2014 10:38 AM

I love that u used bandana fabrics! Brought a whole new meaning to a Dresden plate pattern.....sweet !
As for border, the yellow really caught my attention!

JoanneS 03-27-2014 11:50 AM

Yellow, yellow yellow!

Treasureit 03-27-2014 11:51 AM

I seem to always pick the one most others don't - I say blue

Agreed, a narrower yellow border, then a wider blue. That, or a blue piped with the yellow. Either way, cute quilt!

Country1 03-28-2014 04:09 AM

I to like the yellow. Bright and cheerful.

mummadee 03-28-2014 04:34 AM

The yellow one really makes it bright and cheery. Love your quilt!

triplerosa 03-28-2014 09:38 AM

llweezie 03-28-2014 12:53 PM

Yellow would look lovely

maryel 03-28-2014 03:29 PM

Either would be great but my choice is the navy one.

Boston1954 03-28-2014 04:08 PM

I love the darker one. Looks great.
