    I like the blue better but either would work. Very pretty! :D

    This is tuff. The blue polka dot makes this quilt pop and live. The purple seems to dull even though there is some of it in the quilt. It works there. Is that an outer border fabric the mottled purple and rust and blue. Another hard call. Maybe the color picture isn't catching it right but from what I see, it is too dull for this happy, bright quilt.

    I would love to see the blue p-d and the green as borders to accent the true spirit of this happy piece. Sorry to be so critical but we are here to help everyone learn about making choices that enhance our work. Please take another critical look at your choices and audition some more colors before settling.

    thanks for listening. I love this happy quilt!
    peace :D

    I am going to bind it in the blue polka dot. This is just my 2nd quilt, but I knew it wasn't right!
