    A small floral or something like baloons or spirals or dots with the pink, green and blue.

    A dark blue would be great. I ran short for my borders recently and had to use a different material for my borders. I did have enough of the quilt material to put a square in each corner of the border and it came out looking good.

    I think whatever you select will be fine. You have a good eye for the fabrics you already selected. Please let us know what your final selection was....

    Such a cute quilt. Not sure what to suggest for the border. Possibly prairie points in the multiple colors used in the quilt?

    The size is fine for a crib - newborns are much smaller than your quilt!

    I would agree with the dark blue or a dark green border, not too wide.

    It's adorable as is, so if you can't find anything, bind it and gift it and smile :D

    I think all the suggestions are great. Maybe try a blue blender fabric then bind in pink would look good. Good luck, I think anything you choose will be great. I even think it is a good size as is.

    I agree with a cream or pale yellow to match that in the blocks. That quilt is so darn cute!
