I thought of this too, but couldn't think of a color that would work - other than white.

Actually if you wanted to do that, I think a 1" inner border of the bright yellow, before the B border would be great. I don't think it matters if it touches some of the yellow in the quilt.

although most seem to like B I like the idea of the thin border and then A. I do think it makes a quilt POP with the thin border. I like A because with B some of the fabric will blend unless you use the skinny border. There, that is my nickel's worth. (inflation ya know).

I like A myself. When the border touches a matching block it interrupts the pattern to me. I like that block, it makes a nice boy quilt.

Boy that is a hard decision. I like both but B is better except the fact that it touches the blue blocks. Maybe use a color that is not in the quilt for a thin inner border, then the blue. Like a black then the B border. I'm no help this morn.
