at jo anns there is a fabric that looks like the red one. I think that a black boarder in the same pattern as the red would look wonderful and give it a real good finished look. but that is me. if between the two fabrics i would go with the first because it is different. but that is just me.

Thanks again so much for all of your opinions and ideas! They have all been helpful! I will get the top all together, then decide on the border. I'll let you all know what I decide to do!!
Happy quilting everyone! :-D

I like both but B has more to look at. I would use the yellow if you have enough to bind it. That would set if off. That is just my opinon. I have no grandchildren or have even made a quilt for baby. So take it for what it is worth. lol
