I vote for the small green first, then floral and red binding. As I've said before to me if you use one of the colors in the quilt and it touches the same color in the quilt they tend to run together and you lose your pattern. But that's just me.

I said green first because you have a lot of pink and dark pink and it will give your eye something to rest on. All quilts need to give your eye somewhere to rest. It doesn's need to be a wide border of green to do that.

I suggest a narrow border of green (perhaps the width of your dark red strips) then the floral and bind in dark red. The green will help the eyes have a place to stop and will frame the quilt.

it's a toss up on the fabrics.. both look nice, but very different.
I think Meandering. It's pretty, no matter what you do.

I agree. The solid red will "ground it" and a floral outer border would bring it all together. Love the fabrics.

I would do red but then you might think of her room.. more pinkish or red? the end result however is you will have a lovely quilt regardless of what you chose.
