If you are not cutting up your techno kid fabric but want to add a multi colored border along the lines of the picture you have posted, go for it. The yellow on the top doesn't look as vibrant as the other colors you have and a gray would be a good addition, too. Could just be my computer monitor, too.
Have fun! That is so sweet that you're making a quilt for your cousin's son. You must make great quilts for him to be asking for one. Those are GREAT fabric finds for him. I wish you were my cousin.
Thanks for your suggestion. I just pulled some scraps out to see what I had. I'll have to think for a while before I start anything. You are right about the top yellow fabric. I was just laying out what I had. It's too pale for me. haha I love vibrant colors. I was also thinking of making a "scrappy" border by putting all the colors around the square. I don't know. I'll have to play with my material for a while.
