I love that quilt, especially with all those bright colors!! I just got a top completed for a baby shower next weekend that is very bright/non-traditional also. I think that using those colors, they can use it longer. As for the borders, I try to make them all one length, but this last top I did, I had to piece. The fabric was directional and I didn't have enough for the length. I pieced at the top on one side and the bottom of the other. the fabric is so busy, it is not noticeable. This way the seams are not right across from one another.
