I agree with this.

I like the polka dot brown the best.

Kayaker26 03-14-2011 07:26 AM

The Dots! Very cute!

matraina 03-14-2011 07:30 AM

I agree with maryb119. I think the brown polka dot blends in too much with the rest of the pattern/colors. Love how the multi-colored polka dots just stand out and adds such a nice touch.

ShirlinAZ 03-14-2011 07:33 AM

I vote polka dot brown.

GramaLaura 03-14-2011 07:40 AM

Definitely the white :-D

Rettie V. Grama 03-14-2011 09:07 AM

I would choose the brown.

scrapngmom 03-14-2011 11:03 AM

I like the white polka dots (breast cancer material)

IowaStitcher 03-14-2011 11:33 AM

I agree with white polka dot border and brown binding.

joyce888 03-14-2011 11:51 AM

Either polka dot would be my choice.

Wholeheart Mom 03-14-2011 12:20 PM

Brown polka dots..... it blends and complements the rest of the quilt so nice and doesn't detract from the pattern.

Nettie Phillips 03-14-2011 04:19 PM

I like the polka dot breast cancer one the best.

Monika 03-14-2011 04:25 PM

You have to let us know what you go with!

brightstar_202 03-14-2011 04:25 PM

Well myself Iwould use all three. I like them all and would incorporate them all.

grumpy90650 03-14-2011 04:34 PM

i like them all.....i would put a 2" border of the pink, with a 3" strip of the brown, and bind it with the white polka dot one......great quilt!!! gina

Glynda 03-14-2011 04:37 PM

I like the pink and brown poka dota that match the squares in the top, and then bind with pink.
Post a picture when you finish and let us see your decision please!

cassiemae 03-14-2011 04:38 PM

I like the polka dot also it seems to calm the quilt down and bring the colors of the squares out. Good job. :-P

I like the white polka dot too. And the pink binding.

978gray 03-14-2011 05:55 PM

Pink gets my vote!

Dina 03-14-2011 06:16 PM

You certainly have been given lots of opinions. Let us know what you decide! (I like the white one with dots best....but it has to be what feels right for you...)

I agree

glenda5253 03-14-2011 06:31 PM

Breast cancer fabric for border and pink fabric for binding.

Mazda 03-14-2011 06:34 PM

Brown is my choice.

Julianna 03-14-2011 06:40 PM

Breast Cancer ribbon print as that is what the quilt is about.

Gerbie 03-14-2011 07:51 PM

ditto, I think the other two take away from the quilt, and the ribbon needs to stand out and shout I think.

My time 03-14-2011 09:10 PM

I would do a small border in pink and then the white polka dot as a wider border.

Char 03-14-2011 09:18 PM

I like the polka dot brown too.

I would do something different. i would add a border of the chocolate color on all four sides, then add another border of the pink, and maybe another border of the multi pokadots.
I think this would define your main design better.

mammab 03-15-2011 05:57 AM

I like the brown .

DeniseP 03-15-2011 06:01 AM

me too!

I mainly like to see two borders a thin and wider one. I like the breast cancer one a lot and it would be nice to put it as the wide frame and smaller one of the other two colors.

Beautiful quilt

mayday 03-15-2011 10:01 AM

polka dot brown.

Ditto. The brown polka dot is alittle to dark for the lite center.

sewingsuz 03-15-2011 05:46 PM

I like the poka dot brown the best.

Alondra 03-16-2011 08:13 PM

I agree with Murphy - the brown polka dots frame it nicely and don't compete for attention, like the other colors do.
