    I really like it. I don't think you should change a thing.

    I love it. Pick one of the colors in quilt for the framing and then use black and white polka dot for the border.

    Honestly it is up to you and what makes you happy but if it were me I would leave it as is. I love the way it looks and so would my DD who is 16.

    Definitely retro! I would add a black and white stripe as a border. The prints and colors are so cool!

    I think if you matted it with a white paper frame and then made another one and matted it the same then you could get some wooden frames and paint them with a bright color or paint 1 one color and the other another color and even add stripes or dots or stick figures etc. on the wood painted frame .I hope this makes sense
