I think the floral fabric is gorgeous. I just don't think it works as a border with this quilt.

Your quilt has a clean crisp graphic quality without the border. The floral fabric looks almost embroidered, beautiful, but it seems like it belongs on a fancier quilt.
Yes

I agree with irishrose. A solid black border, then a border of the dots.......then I would bind with the black.

The quilt is gorgeous, but I'd opt for another choice on the border. The two don't go together for me, but that's just my opinion.

I agree with the others...the floral is taking away from the beatiful quilt. Keep looking........there is something that is just right out there.

That is beautiful! Do you have enough of the black with pink dots, that would be gorgeous!

I would go with the dots for a border. Beautiful quilt. lucky DGD.

Flannels are so comfortable, but they also wear out sooner. There will be wonderful colors of flannel that will look great with it. The quilt top is wonderful and happy.


As an old seamstress, I have to take the time to warn you to prewash the flannel is you use it. Some people even wash it twice. It shrinks a lot

My thoughts also:-)

maybe the lighter pink dotty fabric for an inside border and plain black for the outside. the floral would probably make a nice binding?? Nice quilt tho.....DGD will love it!!
