Suggestions for borders, please
Hi,
We are trying to finish up lap quilts for our almost-9 yr old twin nieces and would appreciate any suggestions. I will try to attach a photo, but my apologies if it doesn't work.
The blocks are 12" and I was thinking of a 1' inner border and a 6" outer border. I have no idea what color to use for the inner border. I haven't liked anything I've tried next to it and have no objectivity left.
Light? solid? print?
Thanks in advance for your input and for looking.

I'm the odd ball here. I'd use a black w white for the stopper border. Then go back to one of the pinks. I know it sounds crazy, but it's amazing how all the other prints come to life when you add a piece of the unusual to it.
