Totally adorable quilt~! I am in a quilt group in Fredericksburg Virginia called the Wannabees. One quilter brought in a child's quilt and she had taken all of the fabrics that she used in the quilt and randomly sewed them into strips...used 2 1/2 inch or whatever size width x however wide she wanted the border. You could consider stripping blue and yellow together and border it that way. If this doesn't make any sense...let me know and I will try to explain it better. It is 1:00 am and I am somewhat fuzzy!!

2 1/2 border of BLUE
then a scrap of the left over jelly roll?
What do you think of idea?

I love your quilt! I also vote for the blue. I think it sets it off better. Where did you get the pattern?
