Or ... how about a dark brown -- isn't that a color in the quilt. If so, I would like to see maybe a black narrow 1" inner border with a 3" dark brown, maybe mottled. But I feel (my humble opinion) that the polka dot border detracts from the quilt. Or if I am color blind and there is no brown, ignore me! :-P

And P.S. looks great with no sashing between the blocks.

Black....there is enough of the polka dot in there already, imho. Though more of the floral might be nice. :)

dots, dots, dots & the border width rule of thumb is: should be no wider than pcs in blocks...{if sqs are 3", then border shouldn't be more than 3" finished} just seems to balance out...but then there are NO quilt police! so whatever makes YOU happy...
