    The center is adorable.

    I also think the pinwheels are overwhelming to the size of the center.

    I would leave the pinwheels off the sides, and add plain side borders and do some cute applique if you can.

    I like it and I would continue the pinwheels and bind it in black. If you think it's too busy and the eye may need a rest, break it up with one block maybe the second one from the bottom on the right side with a zinger. Maybe a tiger block or your signature block "love from Grandma"
    I like putting zingers in my quilts. It make for such interesting conversations.

    Pinwheels in the corners, with plain blocks between and a centered pinwheel on top and sides.

    That is absolutely adorable. What a clever use of a buggy and tiger. I'd do maybe a 2 1/2 inch border and then a 3 1/2 inch border to finish and bind it in the color of the 2 1/2 inch border.

    I like it with the pinwheels on top and bottom only best -- maybe add a small white border to the sides to continue the row around the sides -- then add the borders how ever you like.
