I crosshatched the embroidered blocks, but I am a total loss as to what to do with the sashing and borders. I need some 'sweet little baby boy' ideas. Got any?

Absolutely adorable quilt.
How about just 1/4 inch out from squares so as not to take anything away from those wonderful blocks.

That looks wonderful--how about something in a paler blue for borders, maybe a "cloud" print to go with the stars?Or a yellow print?

I see stars in the border print. Maybe that would be cute to make them little baby starlets. (Stars and curlicues quilting... Or flowers like in the pictures)
