I don't like the strips at all, too masculine. That beautiful, feminine, little girl quilts is so pretty. Either use the pink (predominate in quilt) or find a pretty flower fabric or a polka dot fabric for the border. Either of those should be the predominate color with lots of it. On second thought, if you don't have something like that I will swap with you, flowered pattern, mostly pink, for the border in exchange for several Bow Pie Blocks.
