I'd like to see a narrow sashing of the blue, and then border it in the yellow.

I think a strip of each fabric on each side, a different one on each side... it's a cute top

Choice B is my favorite. Babies like the bright colors.

I think that is also a great idea. Black would really look good I think. Good work. Neighbor is going to love it.

I like "A" because it continues into the starry night. It gives it a new dimension! To infinity and Beyond! :) Choice B gets a little crazy for me :/ Especially when it touches the same pattern square.

I agree. I think B blends too much and the block looses its definition IMHO.

I like what Kathyd suggested: B border and use the A for the backing. It's an adorable baby quilt. Good job! Dani
