Quilt advice needed! Aug 25, 2016 11:42:50 GMT -5

So I'm making a quilt for our goddaughter for Christmas, and I need advice! She'll be 2.5 at Christmas, but I want to make a quilt that will be big enough for her to use for a long time. Options A and B will make the quilt 60"x72", and option C would be 60"x60". I'm hesitant to do a square quilt because that seems odd? Basically I've already sewn the three sections, and I just need to know what borders to put between them, or if I should just sew the three sections together with no borders.

Which design do you like better? You can click on the pictures to make them bigger.

A: strips of the same fabric as the rest

B: white fabric

C: no borders, smaller quilt

I love "B" - could you also add some while along the outside edges to box it all in? Is the bigger size, enough for a twin bed? If not, I would make sure it would cover at least a twin bed.

I love the A quilt! I also second it being big enough for a twin bed.

Edit: I went off the pictures for my choice and they are not appearing in the order of the choices, lol. So I changed my answer to A.

I prefer A, then C, then B.

No white, has pink in the top left corner. Very pretty!

I'm so bad at visualizing these things myself! A and B would both be big enough for a twin bed, C would not. If I did B, the binding would definitely also be white.

I'd use a pink or something more complimentary
