If you have any scraps left from the quilt, I would use those to make a matching border. Depending on the leftovers would determine how wide to make the border. The length of each strip wouldn't matter. They could be all different.

I would go with the green if it coordinates with the backing fabric. Maybe a green that matches the darker green of the green fabric. Joanns has quite a few fabrics with puppy prints on them.

I think the quilt is very cute and the size is ok for a baby. Just bind it and put a label with love.

There are some really cute multicolored stripes, and some with hearts in them. I don't know the manufacturer, but if interested I could recheck my local quilting store. It is really cute. What clocks are those?

Think it looks great as it is - if you really want to add a border would be cute if you could find something with the pink, blue, green mix like little marbles or something???

Whatever you use, it will be just right. The love you put into that quilt comes through the loudest!
