I agree with Jan. Doing a white border first should make the blocks with the sashing like you have now, stand out and look great. I'd think about doing a 1" white, then a 1" green, then another 1" white, then the pink. Doing too big of a border first can be distracting, and your blocks are too pretty to distract from them.
What I do when I am unsure about a border. I lay the fabrics, in the order I am thinking about using them for the border, under the outer edge of the pieced top and take a picture with my phone. Seeing the quilt on my phone is like being able to step back about 10 feet and seeing what the whole concept will look like. Sometimes, what looks good while I am just standing there up close, looks not so good on the phone. I do this until I get the look I want and then go with it.
Why don't you post some pics with borders like you are considering and let us look?
