    Adorable quilt!! I would make the border you have on there now narrower and then add a 3-4" border of one of the bright fabrics.

    I would add another border (or two)....If you have the time and fabric, I would add a very narrow border of either the black, red, or dark purple, and then a wider (3" finished or so) border of one of the lighter colors (like the light green or yellow)......It is fine the way it is.......I just happen to like multiple borders on quilts.......

    Your quilt is precious, and will be even more so with a colored border, or possibly some applique from colored fabric on the wide borders you already have.

    Frame it with a darker color, the red or blue.

    Some little girl is going to be very happy. I would put another bright border around it.

    I agree with btiny36, a color border would add more than size to it.

    I would like to see a final border darker than the pink to frame the quilt. It may end up on a wall and would be great with a frame. A frame any way in my opinion.

    I agree the white makes it pale. I would add the green. You could add a narrow bright pink and then a larger lime green .
