I like the white over yellow. It looks crisper. But I’m notreally sure if I like the way the inner white blocks (or yellow muddle together with the inner border. Maybe use a different fabric or color that was not used for the inner blocks.Something that coordinates, but stands out.A solid fabric of yellow/orange or very dark green?

Oh, you know me, gotta mix things up a bit and offer an alternative with color wheel connections.....
I'd use a deeper, golden yellow like that in the print but which is NOT used in the other fabrics. AND I'd make it narrower than what you've cut now. Let it be a "stopper border" ("stops" the action of the blocks before adding the borders so those fabrics don't "bleed" into the borders.)
If you have a piece nearer that color, just lay it along beside the blocks and see if you don't see what I mean. Sort of like this:

Or
Do you have more of the print? how about using that in the border
Narrow green, wider yellow, print, yellow or white then green again . That would mimic the path in the quilt.
