Modern, cute, and trendy quilting suggestions needed

Okay, I need some help in a big big way!  This is the center block I brought home from quilt guild last week for our Round Robin exchange.  That means I need to add a border onto it.  I am in love with traditional quilts and much more boring fabric than this sort of fun fabric, so this is way out of my comfort zone.  When I first began quilting, I loved the new and trendy fabric and patterns, but my heart has been drawn to the traditional patterns and fabric.  Any ideas on what the border should be that I need to add?  This block is a 9 1/2" block. 

Also, I saw these cute little critters on my friend Deonn's blog today.  They are the most adorable pin cushions.  The sweet little lion has stolen my heart.  Click HERE for a link to her blog.  She has kits to make the cute little woolie guys.
