Smile Quilting the Border. Thoroughly Modern Baby

This is the next grandchild's quilt - affectionately known as the hippo. Yes there is a story behind that! Showed the ultrasound to the big sister and asked "what is this?" She replied "a hippopotamus!"
My question is since I used a batting that allows for 10" spacing for quilting - should I quilt the lime green border? How? The binding will be mostly the blue but made of scrap strips. The back is blue flannel.
I'm using a variegated thread. Real actual quilting thread for the machine! First time for everything!
Also - prairie points - yes or no?
