Default Would like opinions of border for Warm Wishes Quilt

This is the crib quilt I am doing for my future DGS due in May. Would like opinions on which color to use as a small border before putting the wider nursery rhyme stripe....which will be the last border then will bind....what color binding??

Thanks

I would not use the red, only because you used it as a border already. I like either of the other two. However I think I would be tempted to use blue on top and right and green on bottom and left (or the other way around) or make a striped border with all 3, with the stripes all the same size (around 6") or different sizes. It's going to be a darling quilt.

I like the red. Just cute as a button whichever way you go.

I like the symmetry that the red gives.

I agree with dunster... Either the green or the blue looks great! This is a really cute baby quilt by the way. I have made a couple of these warm wishes quilts and they are fun to do.
