I would do the polka dots, piano keys, purple, and polka dot binding. Love the quilt

I like the second one. Pretty quilt.

I like the lavender much better. The polka dot was very distracting and the green wasn't very pretty. You want to always use what will enhance the beauty of your quilt piecing, not distract from it.

IThe polka dots do seem to pull the color out of the quilt. Not a big fan of that particular green with the quilt but do think a darker color would frame the houses better. Whatever you decide, this is a terrific quilt! Great job.

I'm not a fan of the polka dots either. I think it washes out the colors in the body of the quilt. And although I love piano key borders, I don't care for them on this quilt. Takes away from the wonderful neighborhood. IMHO. But after all this....I love your quilt

I like the dots. They repeat the inner border.

I would stop at the piano keys, I think they give it a nice frame. Maybe bind it with the light purple.

The darker solids make your houses stand out better. Love the quilt.

This may show up somewhere else as I have real trouble typing after permanently damaged nerves in my right hand due to open heart surgery. I like the pale pink as a border. That quilt is darling!

I like the green and I do like the polka dots. I find the piano key border distracting because it overpowers the delicate designs of the quilt (even though the colors are the same). I would use the green but not too wide.
