Print. But really the pink is lovely too. I think it works both way, but the pink fades away.

I agree.

Print. It seems to "finish" the quilt perfectly. The pink is too light in my opinion.

Print is beautiful.

Bear with me, there are 4 pictures and I just bought a new laptop.

backing fabric as binding.

I like the print too, really sets off the pinwheels!...

larkley 07-17-2011 08:26 AM

print for sure

ften662 07-17-2011 08:40 AM

where can i get this pinwheel pattern? there is another pattern called pinwheels, i think, not like this one. thanks

GA-Ann 07-17-2011 09:02 AM

I like the print, too. The pink is okay, but the print really pops for me.

GA-Ann 07-17-2011 09:07 AM

There are instructions in the tutorial section, I tried some with some leftover squares, really simple and easy!

maine ladybug 07-17-2011 10:06 AM

Both are very nice, but I vote for the pink.

kathy6696 07-17-2011 10:28 AM

I love the print, so pretty. The pink is to pale and does nothing to bring out the quilt.

Grandma Peg 07-17-2011 10:34 AM

I like the background fabric the pink almost looks like white from a distance.

postal packin' mama 07-17-2011 10:47 AM

How about a narrow pink flange between the white border and the printed binding? The print sets off the delicacy of the rest of the quilt.
Lovely quilting, by the way.

trolleystation 07-17-2011 11:00 AM

Backing vote here. Looks great.

KLO 07-17-2011 11:18 AM

Print for my taste too. It makes the pinwheels stand out a bit better than the pink.

quiltymom 07-17-2011 11:23 AM

Ditto Print!

daisydebby 07-17-2011 11:38 AM

The pink is soft and delicate, but, I vote for the print as it brings out the pinwheels. NICE QUILT:)

fred singer 07-17-2011 11:53 AM

I like them both ,but I think the pink would continue the theme

baskets4daze 07-17-2011 11:55 AM

I too like the print. Very cute.

Married48 07-17-2011 01:37 PM

I vote for the pink. Sets off the blocks.

Becca Bear 07-17-2011 02:08 PM

This is such a pretty quilt. I agree with the majority and think the print finishes off the quilt. Glad that was your final decision. Please post a larger picture of the finished quilt and the backing. Would love to see your finished work. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

quiltaroni 07-17-2011 03:22 PM

I prefer the print,it looks more finished.

Jackie R 07-17-2011 03:45 PM

I like the print fabric too.

Sassylass 07-17-2011 03:45 PM

I also like the print..beautiful quilt too!!!

milikaa1 07-17-2011 05:19 PM

I prefer the pink, it seems more dainty.

quilter in the making 07-17-2011 05:28 PM

Gorgeous quilt.

emlee51 07-17-2011 05:46 PM

Me, too, me, too! Print, please.

FERSID 07-17-2011 06:01 PM

I like the print backing fabric - the pink is TOO bland.

The print ties in the pinwheels and makes the quilt POP (IMHO)

Nettie Phillips 07-17-2011 06:09 PM

I don't know but I love the print for the binding. The quilt is
gorgeous.

Alondra 07-17-2011 06:30 PM

They are both pretty, but in different ways. Your choice!
