Can not make a decision today....thoughts?

Ouch my carpet looks dirty...I'm going to blame the camera!

I like the polka dot brown.

I like the while polka dot print and would use the pink as binding.

I like the white polka dot too.

I too like the brown polka dots with pink as binding

Brown polka dots ( does anyone do the polka these days LOL)
and pink binding.

Hi Pam,

What a nice quilt. I like the polka dot border.

You could have the polkda dot border in say a 2" border first.
Then put a thin 1/2 inch folded fabric border in the
Breast Cancer polka dots fabric.
Then follow with a 3-4" outside border.

I would have the binding match the outside border.
If fabric is in short supply, I would then think about making the binding a scrappy binding using all of the fabrics used in the quilt.
I would have each scrap be in varied short lengths with the fabrics repeating so they continue around the quilt.

Please keep us updated as you progress through your project.

the brown polka dot lets your quilt show!

I agree!

The brown polka dots.
I like Polka dots, any color.

I vote for white dots for border and brown dots for binding. :)

I agree. I think the white makes the quilt pop. The brown blends in too much. If you use the brown, I think you need a narrow border of the white between the quilt and the outer border and bind in the pink.

If I had enough fabric, I would do a narrow border in the pink to frame it without overwhelming it, then the brown polka dot for a wider border. But I love the look of a small border then a larger one.

I like the brown too. bind with the left one maybe.

My choice would be a very narrow strip of the pink then a wider strip of the multi on white and use the brown dots for binding.

My thoughts, also.

I like white polka dots, I too think the brown blends too much with the solid brown, the white does pop more, also agree the pink binding

I'm with this gal. I like the lighter polka dots and the pink or even the brown for the border.

Wow thanks everyone....I like the idea of the white polka dots with the pink material and then the brown polka for the binding...how do I make my strips into binding?

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.

me too

I like the pink !

My thoughts, too

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.

I like the brown polka dot for the outside but I think a small inside border out of the pink.

I would use the pink on the bottom, maybe an inch then 2-3 inch polka dot to finish.

I like the idea of a narrow (1" finished) pink border than the white polka dot a least 1/3 the width of a block then the brown for the binding.

I agree with maryb here except I like the brown because itreally catches your eye and then the pink binding would bring it all together.

Like the brown print. Going to be a very beautiful quilt. Be sure to show us the finished quilt.

I love the polka dot! Looks great as the border.

I also like the brown polka dots.

I like the brown poka dots....
