Default circle Quilt for DIL

hi there i have had this idea to try and make a circle quilt for my Son and daughter in law. for their Camper. so i got all my circles put together but did not have enough material of the prety bright colors. They were from a monthly layer cake deliverly. so i put them on poing and added the grey and green to make it bigger to fit a Full size bed. so i have it all up on my design wall and now i need to add some borders to inlarge it. any ideas on a color? i am wanting to do 2 colors a smaller inner border and a wider outer border. and with the left over circle material i made 2 pillows, my first time trying to add piping around the edge.

I would do a thin gray border and than a wider red border. I really like your cushions and you did a great job on the binding.

oh great quilt. and pillows too. same suggestions of border colors from me too. love your quilt! piping, I was just looking at my footstool cover I made years ago thinking I should make another one. maybe this time with piping. my mama cat thinks that stool is hers. she "kills" it all the time. the decorator fabric has held up well. perhaps it's not worth putting piping on.
