Just my thoughts, I can see a redheaded sweety holding the blanket close to her.

So, would you do a pink/green around the whole? What about small block border with the leftovers from the blocks?

you can have as many borders as you want. I would use a color to break up the blocks.

dbries - I didn't know this was you! I want to do the neons - but I think it would be nice to make it a second quilt. I actually was going to use the green, blue and yellow in Gadge's quilt, with a dotty black (something like stars or bubbles). That was future project :-D

I also like the neon blue...

The neons just seem too bright to me--they distract and clash with the soft gentle top... so green.

I think I would save the neons for their own quilt, maybe with some prints in bright colors. But the colors in this quilt are lovely and soft and need a border that matches. Maybe beige or a soft pink or green or blue. But the neons clash to me...

the blue or green, left overs can be last border. love the look of it so far.
