I think red balloons would look adorable. I'm picturing a large balloon in the corner, big enough that it goes into the green strip, not just in the yellow, but that might not be what you had in mind. The balloon string could run down the side or to the middle like the little elephant is holding it.

I love the balloon idea. I've seen similar added to borders and they started at the top left and came down about half way or a little more. Then the right side started in the middle or up a bit and came down to the bottom. I also would maybe make 3 balloons 2 on one side of the string and 1 on the other. kind of like flowers growing only balloons. If you machine applique the balloons you could also machine sew the string. This a very cute quilt and doesn't need much on the border.

I’ve just made this quilt for a baby boy and looking at it I find the borders look a little bland. I’m not great with appliqués but I thought about putting a red balloon with embroidered string on each side, towards top left and maybe abt the middle in the right. What do you think and have you got any other suggestions??? The binding will be a nice royal blue. Thanks for your input 😃
Serpentine stitch would look cute ! Love the bright colors. What quilt pattern did you use?

I think it looks great.. but its your quilt. I wonder what type of binding you are going to use? that could dress the edge of the quilt up some and make a pop. (like maybe the green polk a dot fabric used in the body of the quilt??)
