My aunt was 75, she has always loved pink. I made the rail fence with 4 pinks - rather bright for my taste, but my mother told me my aunt loved pink and the more the pink the better she liked it. But if you looked at her homes you never would have known pink was her favorite color. She loved the quilt so much she actually travels with it. She splits her time between Los Angeles and Kansas - and this quilt goes with her.
Something in those fabrics made you think of your aunt, so more than likely she is going to love it. And I agree, with sewmary, you don't need to add a border - it is a good size just the way it it.
