In the bottom of the first picture you can see what it would look like with a deep red/burgundy border around the green...and that looks just awesome! I think I would go with that. Overall, it's beautiful...love your fabric selection, colors, pattern, etc. He'll love this!

I think a maroon border would bring out the reds in the quilt, and it won't necessarily make it THAT much larger. Besides, as someone else said, he's still got a lot of growing to do before he finishes loving this quilt! I've been loving a twin size quilt my mother made me for over 30 years now - in fact, just last night I snuggled under it while watching Grey's Anatomy!

I would add another border, perhaps something darker.

I love the fabric you chose. Holly Taylor is my favorite.
This must be the moda Classics!

Well, you know how fast those 9 year olds can grow so I would go ahead and add another border...maybe even 2. A narrow light color and then the maroon. It is a very nice quilt. Looks really good for a boy!

I think the maroon or burgandy border would look awesome on this quilt. You did a fabulous job on it. He will love it.

Lucky boy. It's a great quilt just the way it is but when it comes to growing boys, bigger wouldn't hurt. I vote for the maroon border.
