I like the pink one on the left, but the same red as the red squares would look good

For me, I'd choose the pink polka dot or the multi-color pink.

I too like these discussions as I learn so much when people explain why they do or do not like something. I look forward to seeing what you have when finished. I was going to suggest something in the aqua range maybe. I do like the idea if you had enough of the various prints used to make a piano key border. But the background fabric will look really nice also. You did very good at the D9P fabric choices and positions.

I think the Hot Pink border on the left is best. It's striking; blends with the background used in the quilt; has the same intensity as the larger quilt blocks. It doesn't fight or compete with the center of the quilt either. Congratulations on your pretty baby gift!

May I suggest the red used in the smaller squares.

If I had to pick I would have said the pink tonal, I think you made a much better decision! Pretty quilt!

I agree with alisonquilts and bigsister63, as I do not like any of the 4 you have chosen. The stripe is way to heavy for a kids quilt and the others just don't do it justice. I would use either the background fabric or fabric from one of the squares if available. Good luck with this. Quilt itself though is very nice.

I like the top one as the quilt itself is busy enough and it's not so busy but still has pattern to it.
