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.

I love this quilt and I prefer the one on the left, showcases your quilt better IMHO.

i like them both too but if you want the quilt to be more fun and funky, the one on the right.

CUTE quilt!!! I like both border fabrics, but I think the left one does more for the quilt. The right one drew my eyes to the border, not the cutey pie cats!

For this quilt, I prefer the one on the left. The right distracts too much from the quilt. I love the quilt! The kitty faces are wonderful!

i like the subtler one better. i think the brighter one draws attention away from your adorable cats

I think the one on the right give some "pizazz" to the quilt. I like bold and bright and funky,.

I like the right one best, because it is ZANNY looking!!!!

I go with the left side also.

right

The one one the right is a great fabric, but it "pops out" too much and detracts from your cats. The one on the left plays on the sashing and coordinates better. Then, maybe a small red binding (or whatever colour you would like to use as an accent from your cats).

I like the circles the best.

I like the one on the right the best. I think it accentuates the zaniness of the cats.

I like the fabric on the left the best.

the right one

I like them both too, but I like the stars & swirls on the right best. This is sew cute!! It has such personality.

It's definately the left for me!

Prefer the one on the left. Cute!

I have to vote for the one on the left also. The one on the right just overwhelms the cats.

Ditto!

I agree. The right one draws your eyes away from the cats. Cute!

Cute quilt! I like both of these fabrics but the circles one seems to play nicer with the top then the stars and spirals. The stars and spirals is almost too bold for this top and appears to be trying to steal the show.

I like the fabric on the right very much, but I think the one on the left does more for the quilt. IMHO

The right gets my vote.

I like the left one. right one too much

I love the print on the right, but it draws your eye more to the border, so I'd use the print on the left instead. You don't want to draw too much attention away from the cats.

I like the one on the left.

Both fabrics are cool. I prefer the one on the left for that particular quilt.

I like the one on the left best.

The one on left enhances the kats in your blocks best...

I like the one on the left.
