I agree with this post. Cute little quilt, big floral design not.

....and another vote for the floral border. It 'brings out' the print in the pinwheels. To me, the green is 'too simple' for this border. I agree that babies like 'interest' and the print will attract their attention. The floral border, pink corners and maybe that green for the binding. Anxious to hear what you decide.

I would put a 1 or 1 1/2 inch green and then add that beautiful floral and bind with the floral or black.

The floral freshens and modernizes it. It actually helps pull up the animals.

Babies love color and I love the floral print. It makes the fabric in your blocks pop. I say go with the floral.

I would do a green border with pink corners, and floral backing and binding.
I like the floral, but not a wide border.
