I think a dark blue border would be nice. Or the darker pink that is in the blocks. Cute quilt!

I would use the pink as in the block borders as the narrow border and then a wider dark blue as in the blue block borders. That's a darling quilt top!

I would audition a border in pink followed by a border in the dark blue, probably with dark blue as the binding also.

I would do the thin pinky purple then the blue swirl and if you have the black andx white one use that as the binding. but that ius me. I wouldn't use the flower print.

since you already have the sashing border, i would go with a solid color beyond that... as previously suggested, the dark blue would look nice
