I love the polka dot border. A narrow black border, then a polka dot or the floral fabric might look really good.
|
I like the look of a black, narrow focus border. I think it would frame it beautifully. I love that quilt top!
|
I would use a small black border and then a larger polka dot border. It's a beautiful quilt.
|
That is exactly what I was thinking, thin dark inner border and dot outer border. The black so brings out the designs in the prints. Please post when you are finished. It is classy quilt.

I think I would use a narrow black, then the dot, then bind back in black. Your quilt is really neat. I usually don't like dots, but this is wonderful use of them, may have to invest in some dots. thanks for sharing.
|
I agree
|
i would use a narrow black border to frame it then the wider one floral or dots whatever you like
but a narrow border would set it off |

For some reason the colors look "yucky" when photographed, but in "real life" they are beautiful golden browns and blacks all with glitter. Now, I have put 2 options for the borders: one with poka dots one with black Once again, I would like your opinions and on Monday I can finish it up. Thanks again for previous and future help. I just love this group. Karen |

the black is tooo black, a narrow border like 1/2 to 1 inch wide with either the polka dot or the floral would look best, I think.

the darker one gives it a nice frame....
|
Please, use the black.
|
I think a narrow black border and then a wider polka dot border would look nice. The quilt is very nice.

It looks great! I like the black border but think I would make it a 'zinger' then use the polka dot with black for the binding.
|
i love that idea
|
If you have more of the floral use it for a narrow border, then black. If not a narrow border of dots then wider black.
|
I think black...
|
I agree black and then if you want the polka dots, use them. But the black makes the quilt pop. Otherwise it just sits there and blends.
|
Love the dots.
|
I agree with Lady Tapioca and Eddie --- a narrow black with polka dots on the outside border.
|
I like the black!
|
I would do a narrow black border and a wide polka dot border.
|
Maybe try a narrow black border. Then the wider dot border with black binding.
|
Why not one row of each border?
|
black

Do you have more of the dark fabric from you top? Else I like the narrow black border.

Definitely the black. It makes the browns pop.

I agree, a narrow black border then more dots!
|
I like the black, makes the quilt pop....Beautiful quilt.
|
I LOVE it! I agree with others, narrow black with polka dot brown on outer edge. Will be a standout!

Lovely quilt!! |
I like the dots! Very nice work.
