    I prefer the one on the left (looking at the screen, the one nearest the yellow cat). The dots that make up the circles complement the dots in the sashing.

    I love the border on the left best as it seems to pop out the cat pictures. Cute quilt.

    I prefer the left - the dots that form the pattern mimic the dots in the sashing, unifying the whole quilt! Absolutely darling!

    Neat Quilt!
    My thoughts exactly

    What do y'all think about my choices? Or should I use the dots from the sashing?

    This was my thought too. I like the left one OK but I think it is a little too dramatic and distracting to my eyes. Maybe you could just flip a coin? lol

    I have no idea. I didn't want to make a baby quilt, so I guess I'll end up with a small lap quilt.......

    The quilt is adorable and both fabrics look really good.
    But maybe the one on the right would be best.
