A navy blue would really make your colors pop

I'd bring the quilt to your fabric store so you can see what they look like next to it and pick your favorite.

What would you recommend?

This precious new little baby will love this quilt. So pretty and I would go with a dark blue.

I vote for a strip also, either an actual striped fabric or one you do yourself (piano keys idea). I think that would set this quilt off perfectly!!!

if you have left over fabric maybe a pieced border out of the leftovers, might have to buy something to fill in with what you have.

What are you using for the backing ?? Your could use that to add a border on the front if the colors work for you.

Take a scrap from the green and beige, place it along side the quilt top and squint your eyes. Looking at the top posted, I would try to match the green. The pink maybe difficult to match, but the green is a popular color. I don't see enough of a dark blue to make a border of it. I love this quilt, the picture panels are darling.
