Checkered flag pattern all around with red binding

i also think blue with a smaller black first.

I would use a black framing border and then a black checked fabric like racing flag for the borders. I would bind in red. I do like quilts that pop.

That is cool ... I have 2 assistants like yours. I was thinking a triple border ... black then thin red or gray and finally a chunk of black again. Kinda like matting in a frame.

I agree.

I thought of blue too but I think they gray and black will make it for male or female.

I think the checkered (black and white) for the outer border, and experiment with red, ble or gray for the inner border. I am leaning toward the red inner border. But you never really know till you lay it out.

I like the black and grey suggestions, but I agree with Sandyo that blue would bring out the cars.

I agree!

I'd love to see a narrow strip of black as first border (maybe 1 inch at the most). I do that to a lot of my quilts - it makes a strong frame effect. Then for the last border I'd find a print that "reads" solid dark gray. That outer print would give it some texture with the print but read solid. Maybe a print that has a bit of movement in the pattern The binding would be either the black or dark grey fabric. You still want the cars to be the "main event" that your eyes go to.
Good luck. Please post a picture when you are done. We'd love to see it.
