Need advice please... large floral print?

Made a baby quilt this weekend. I originally thought I would use the large floral print for the border. DH says the baby will be freaked out by it. BFF says the big print is too big and too busy. I'm out of the pink fabric. Baby is a girl. What say you all?[ATTACH=CONFIG]572001[/ATTACH]

Sorry DH, but I love the floral print, it totally blends in. Don't like the bright green.

Babies need to see colors..for stimulation. I LOVE that floral for the border!! It is soooo nice to see florals making a comeback.

I would put the floral on the back and use the green for the borders because the quilt center is overwhelmed by the floral border.

I agree with you. Lovely little quilt!

my first thought, also, is that the print would overwhelm the center. i do like the print, though, so maybe putting it on the back is the best choice.

My thoughts as well. The quilt is very cute!

​I love the floral but I think it overwhelms the appliques. I would use the green border and put the floral on the back. Cute top!

Unless the quilt is a surprise for her, why not ask the baby's Mom which she likes better?
