want your opionion -- not OT

I agree with the others. Use both. Do the sides in one and the top in
the other.

I have almost finished the top, but I can't decide whether to use the blue
or pink inner border. Just in case you are interested --- the keyboard
border will be finished out with 9 patch corners.

I want the one that makes the quilt the most attractive. I really like the
pale blue, but I am leaning toward pink because the baby is a girl.

I have decided to quilt it with bees and honey pots and have already drawn a
pattern. But, I have to make a decision about the border or I'll never get
that far!!!

Hullo Tricia
What an absolutely lovely little quilt - wish it was for me! (I love
Pooh, too g).
I do prefer the blue, though I couldn't tell why for a little while?
Then I realised that I think it is because there is quite a bit of blue
in the Pooh pictures and the blue seems to enhance that.
That doesn't mean to say that the pink looks bad or anything - it was a
close call, for me!
Enjoy the finishing.

I thought I'd say blue as I generally prefer it to
pink. This time I am leaning toward the pink.
Instead of nine patch corners, I respectfully
suggest you consider doing the corners with either
more Pooh squares, or HST made of the left over
key board borders.

I agree with all of those that have said to use both colors the way you have
it laid out, but I wouldn't miter the corners where the pink and blue meet
since there are no mitered corners on the inside blocks. It is a very cute
quilt, Tricia, and that is a very lucky baby girl that is on the receiving
end.

Tricia, that quilt is adorable! I love the fabric!

I want the one that makes the quilt the most attractive. I really like the
pale blue, but I am leaning toward pink because the baby is a girl.

Personally, though I love blue, I like the pink border better. I think
it gives the quilt more "life".

pattern. But, I have to make a decision about the border or I'll never get

I think your quilting design sounds perfect! Hurry and finish so we can
see it in its final form!

pale blue, but I am leaning toward pink because the baby is a girl.

If it were me I would use narrower strips and do blue-pink-blue.
If it must be just one color, I would go with the blue. The pink
seems to overpower the pooh fabric a bit on its own.
You can get away with blue for a girl a lot more easily than pink for
a boy. Though I never could see why there should be a fuss about
either.
