    I love this quilt and I prefer the one on the left, showcases your quilt better IMHO.

    i like them both too but if you want the quilt to be more fun and funky, the one on the right.

    CUTE quilt!!! I like both border fabrics, but I think the left one does more for the quilt. The right one drew my eyes to the border, not the cutey pie cats!

    For this quilt, I prefer the one on the left. The right distracts too much from the quilt. I love the quilt! The kitty faces are wonderful!

    i like the subtler one better. i think the brighter one draws attention away from your adorable cats

    I think the one on the right give some "pizazz" to the quilt. I like bold and bright and funky,.

    The one one the right is a great fabric, but it "pops out" too much and detracts from your cats. The one on the left plays on the sashing and coordinates better. Then, maybe a small red binding (or whatever colour you would like to use as an accent from your cats).
