Me too. That, and also consider a gold "inner mini-border" as an alternate.

I agree with grammyp, I like A since it has the same background as the blue used in the quilt. I would also include a thin border of either the yellow, red or green and then a wider border of the A fabric.

B makes it pop ---lucky baby

I would use a dark green narrow border with A as the wider border. Black would not really relate and white would be what the eye focused on. Any of the fabrics so far would cause the eye to flow out into the border rather than frame it.

I would chose A, a very nice quilt, lucky kid

I like the A choice.

Small inner border of maybe a green and the outer border B.

I vote for choice B. Your quilt looks great!

I like A, I agree with others that that B blends with some of the blocks.
