I would cut the stripes on the diagonal (bias) and add that bit of playfulness to the piece as a binding. Secondary would be the red dots.

I was just browsing through pictures of other quilts and some used the background fabric for binding leaving the center of the quilt to stand out. Now I'm wondering if I should try that with mine. I hate when this happens because if I choose wrong, then I've cut up all that fabric that might have been used for another project.

I would either use the red dots as a binding... or I would put on a very narrow border of black stripes (there is black in the center), followed by a slightly wider border of red dots, and bound in diagonal black stripes. That would look awesome!

Since it's going to be narrow you could go with the skinny stripes. I think it would be fun. I also like the red. The only one I don't like for it is the wider stripes.
BTW- it's really cute!!!

Red dots. It's perfect. Also, it might not be with the pink wall forever....

Skinny stripe or red dots has my vote.
