    Morning everyone! (Where's the doughnuts??? :lol: )
    I need some opinions on this quilt I am making for my neighbors baby boy. I like the layout that I have, however, I am unsure what to use as a border. Can I get some opinions please? Thanks in advance! (I am not partial to either one, so honesty is good! Thanks!)
    Here are some pictures:

    Whole top (obviuosly not put together yet)

    Adorable and well done!

    Any of the colors from the blocks could be used within the borders or binding.

    Good luck!

    I agree choice B. The other blue could be the back. Binding could be the red or orange from the blocks. Looking good.

    B

    I like the stair-step diagonals that the blocks create.

    I like them both but prefer choice A. With B some of the blocks "blend" into the border. Really cute quilt!

    I like to use a thin (one and one half inch) border like black or a complimentary color (not a fabric in the quilt) to stop the eye then add one of the blue's you have in a wider border. Just an option. Love the quilt. Wonderful colors
