The print in the border is very busy so any quilting you do won't show very much at all on the front. It will show on the back. I would keep it very simple for that reason (why put a ton of effort hand quilting on something that won't show unless you are only a few inches away?)
I would do a very simple cable like this:

These are both cute and would probably go fairly quickly

Go through the border designs from Stencil company. You should find plenty of ideas but i would keep it a very simple motif.

Isn't it fun to see what everyone suggests? Here I was thinking something along this line to keep the 4 patch effect going out into the borders. http://quiltingstencils.com/picketfence45.aspx Whatever you choose will be lovely.

Thanks for all the great ideas! I may have to order some new stencils from Quilting Stencils. Can never have enough. I experimented and stitched a few clam shells and think I'll go with that. It seems to soften the harder edges in the middle of the quilt.
