​I like them both but if they are expecting a boy I would go with grey, expecting a girl go with yellow.

I love them both and think that either will be just right. Where did you buy the fabric? I need to get something with bunnies on it for a baby quilt I need to have made before December.

QUOTE=sewbizgirl;8293519]So cute! I really liked the yellow at first, but when I saw the gray I thought it looked more restful. They both work well so you can hardly go wrong.

I'm not overly fond of the narrow gray border. If you used the gray print for the wider border, maybe you could use a solid yellow for the narrow border.[/QUOTE]

i agree about the narrow gray border. It is too dark. How about a lighter gray. Love the yellow border. Cute quilt.

Yellow needs brightness

Either would work, but I prefer the gray because it seems to frame the center better.

To me, the gray border makes it feel more "finished" than the yellow border.

Thank you all so much for your replies. I agree that the yellow is brighter - - but then I also agree with Tartan about the gray being a better fit for a boy.

I think I do agree with those of you who questioned the gray inner border...... I think I am now leaning toward this. A narrow yellow inner border with the gray outer. I am not sure that this yellow is the exact yellow to match this fabric - - but I like it better than the gray. And it gives a pop of bright that was needed

That is why I love this board.... I love getting everyone's opinion!!

I don't really like the last picture. All the pop is gone. I liked the dark grey next to the print and then either of the other colors, then bind it in dark grey. The darker really emphasizes the stars in the strips and provides that little bit of pop every quilt needs. The last one is too matchy, matchy.
