this top is 37x42, I would like to add a 8" border.
What do y'all think about my choices? Or should I use the dots from the sashing?

Both are cute. Like the right best

I like them both

Yep - I like the one on the right, too.

I like the one on the left best. It does not draw your eyes away from the cats as the one on the right does. The left one works very well and ties it all together.

Neat Quilt!

ohhh, so cute. I like both but the right one jumped out at me.

Good choice of fabric for a great looking quilt. I like the circles on the left best.

tough choice - but I like the one on the right too.

i like the one on the left - and agree with QuiltE - it doesnt' take away from the cats

agree. although, actually, i like the fabric on the right better it is not the right one for this top.
