    I like the print, but think there is too much of it. Perhaps two borders - a thinner print, then the green.

    I would not use the floral on the front for a border -- too overwhelming. It could work on the back. Like the green as a border.

    I say it's absolutely perfect as started with the loud print as a border, so darn cute!

    Totally love that thin bit of yellow with the green border! The floral can brighten the back. Very cute quilt!

    Could you get another pink, a bit lighter or darker?

    I like the floral. The green border matches but is rather "ho hum" in my opinion.

    I love Love LOVE the floral! I would put a flange of that bright green at the binding and use the same fabric as the border for the binding. I am a rebel like that!

    I just love the fabrics you chose for the pinwheels! I like the combination of the green and the floral borders, and the pink cornerstones. So I think I would just choose some additional fabrics and have a multi-fabric border. If you want just one fabric for the border, I don't think there's anything freaky about the floral for a baby.
