Your opinion please--what's wrong here?

If it were mine, I might try a little wider, solid color inner border to rest the eye from all the busy-ness of the blocks. Then put the cuff outer border on the edge. Just a thought.
You took on quite a challenge for that family, those kids will treasure the quilts forever!

The bother's quilt will be put together with winter camouflage sashing--wider than this one and will be larger blocks. I'm thinking about taking the side borders off this quilt and putting them on the boy's, to incorporate the woven shirt fabric into his quilt. Still thinking. Really appreciate the feedback.
You're creating a real keepsake!
