I would go through my stash and find "colors" to match and do a piano keys border.

I would personally go with the creamy yellow. Already have enough dark colors

What would you recommend?

I'd take the quilt with me when I went to get fabric and audition fabrics. I agree with the yellow choice but I would still audition because what you think might work really doesn't sometimes.

I would pick a color that is slightly seen in each block, make the border and have this color pop and compliment the border.

Polka dots are so bright and happy. You should be able to find a polka dot in pink, blue, green or a mixture. Cute quilt.

I would use a small flower print of light pink for the boarder. Your baby quilt is very cute.

I finally got around to finishing this quilt. My quilting certainly isn't perfect and the edges are waving at me but I am sure my niece will love it for her little Ariella who came a couple of weeks early.
