It was made with scraps from other quilts I've done and a gifted WOW background fabric.

Beautiful! I like how you scaled down the blocks. what a great idea with great results. About 11 years ago I made two baby quilts with this pattern, one in pink and one in purple, for my twin daughters. Indeed you are right the original pattern is a bit big for a baby quilt. I'll see if I can find pictures to post of the quilts I made. I agree, I think a border would be nice. Thanks also for sharing how you scaled it down. Now I will have to make another one with smaller dimensions.
