I’ve just made this quilt for a baby boy and looking at it I find the borders look a little bland. I’m not great with appliqués but I thought about putting a red balloon with embroidered string on each side, towards top left and maybe abt the middle in the right. What do you think and have you got any other suggestions??? The binding will be a nice royal blue. Thanks for your input 😃

I wonder if you could add red cornerstones? It would involve some unsewing, but shouldn't be difficult to fit those into the corners. Other than that, your quilting on the yellow could be balloons - just a version of meandering would do the job.

I like the borders but if you don't... Try adding some herringbone fancy stitches to them - use any color thread that's in the pieces or all the different colors. Make 3 to 5 lines of stitches -make them wavy (they could even crisscross and it would be really cute.
