As you can see from my avatar, I'm partial to brights so I think the colors will be beautiful. White sashing will tone them down, black will make them pop. I usually wait until a top is completed before I start auditioning border fabrics. Make sure to post a photo when you're done.

I think that the black will really make it pop with your choice of batiks and love your idea for the border! And, I think she will love it, so stop stressing and get busy! lol 
She is one lucky girl.
Don't forget to post a picture when it is finished.

She'll probably like it. I just finnished a quilt for the quilt for quilter's swap and it has similar colors, bright batiks and kona black.My family loves how it turned out and so do others that have seen it. I used gold metalics to quilts designs in the blocks. Here is a pictue of the top finnished.

I was in a class on EQ7 and for one of the exercises I created a quilt with bright layer cake blocks, sashed in black with lighter cornerstones. Showed the border the same width as the sashing (in black also). This was totally out of my normal style so I was so surprised how much I loved it. Just added another one to my list.....I bet you'll like this when you get it together. For sure your son's girl friend will love it!
