I too think the coral border will be fine since it will be at a 90 degree angle to the pieced top once it is on the bed. But maybe you could show the quilt with that swirl fabric as a border because that is darker and .... well, I just like the fabric! Don't know if it will look good or not since I cannot see it next to the top. Oh and what a sweet quilt for the granddaughter. She will treasure it, I am sure. Very nice job!
