need help on borders for n/h quilt
This is an Anita Goodesign pattern called Neighborhood Quilt. Any advice on border. I thought I liked the polka dots, then thought maybe not. Tried the green (it is the same fabric for the grass on all blocks) and not so liking that now that I can see it. So, not really sure. Any thoughts/suggestions? The piano border is from fabrics made in all the applique blocks.

You have so much going on in this lovely project of yours that I think a solid border would be the best. Love the polka dot sashing, but for a border it is a little busy. Solid would frame it and tie all the elements together. I am in agreement with QM. Plus I read something years ago that the best quilts have areas that give your eyes a rest, yet tie everything together.

No promises, but could you move the green closer to the print, either next to the polka dots, or instead of them? Maybe a narrow border, then try a wide one outside of he piano keys, or a lavender or purple. Just to see what it looks like.
