I'd want to know where the quilt is going ... or who it is going to. Then I'd tailor my choice to that. A lot of options but for me this is my starting point.

BTW ... your carpet just looks dark because I know how hard it is to get proper lighting for picture taking a largish quilt.

In the good ol' days, all the time and the Schottish (sp) too, but now that everything is sagging and hurting and worn out, no, sadly.
And PS: I too vote for the brown Polka Dots.

Polka dot brown, please. It seems to "frame" it best, in my opinion.

This is what I would do also or white 1 1/2 in., pink 2 in. and then a wider brown and bind in brown. Your quilt is very pretty.

I like the brown. It brings out the colors of the quilt.

Personally, I think the pink makes the quilt pop while the brown is nice it makes the quilt a lot darker. Is this for a cancer patient? If so, the bright happy pinks would be the way to go for me. They are so much more cheerful than the brown. JMHO.....

I would make a border 3or4 inch with the white polka dots and use the brown polka dots as binding. Use the pink as a backing. Very interesting texture in your quilt.
