will either of these work for a border?
I have this UFO from a year ago that I want to finish up to donate to a family this Christmas. There is a 3 year old boy who I think might just like firetrucks (I hope). I really don't want to spend any more money but I would like to finish the quilt up to nice finish.
I was looking through my fabric for a border. Do you think either of these will work? I like stripes, but not sure about those colors with the quilt top. I like the yellowish, but then I wonder if it will be too much yellow. What do you guys think - which would you use for a border? Or maybe a thin yellow for a stop border and then the stripe?

I, on the other hand, WOULD use the stripe because it can't be too busy for a kid! They like stripes. They like red. They like fire trucks. What's not to love here for a 3 year old?!!

The stripe has so many colors that aren't in the quilt that I wouldn't use it for myself. However - a child will still love it! I also like the orange, but I don't think the quilt really needs a border unless you want it to be larger.
