    you could just find some creamy beige to match the focus squares or maybe the green.

    Maybe navy, then a print incorporating the other colors?

    My suggestion is to do 2 borders a 3" of the green then either the dark blue or more pink or even the cream outside border 5" wide. Green is so in now. For young girls it is becoming the new lavender

    Cute quilt, nicely done

    One inch (cut 1 1/2) of a dark, then 2 1/2 inches (cut 3) of a light will bring it up to crib quilt size. The ones you purchase are often 36 x 45. Then a bright pink binding and you're good to go.

    i think that a lovely cream or yellow (which ever the background color is) in a marble or toneal would look wonderful. as a nice 3" and then do a black boarder and binding to finish it off. but tht is must me.

    Do you have much of the fabric left that you used in the quilt? I love piano key borders, and if you have enough, you could use that. Otherwise, I would try to find colors the same as you have used. Good luck... by the way, it's a darling quilt! :)

    I too think it is big enough for a baby. Just finish it the size it is now. What cute fabric!!

    I like the blue you used and that would look good as a broder if you can find a blue like it. Very cute quilt!

    I think it is adorable! I would add a medium, dark blue border and then bind it with the pink.

    I did an online search and found that there are some companion fabrics. Now to decide which one! The fabric line is called Lil Miss Cutie Patootie by Red Rooster. Thanks for all the great ideas. I'm not sure yet what I will do.
