Hmm,bind blue or yellow?
#33

Personally, I find that if I use a light color, like yellow, for a binding, it tends to get dirty quicker, or at least show dirt quicker, on a quilt that is used a lot, like a baby quilt. I vote for the blue!

I agree with those who say the stripe, if you have enough, would be best. Yellow seems like too much contrast and blue seems okay but wouldn't do anything special for it. In quilts as in flower arranging, having three of something eye catching brings a pleasing balance.

If that were my quilt, I'd use the very dark blue for binding. I like contrast between the binding and the border. In this case, the dark blue would "frame" the quilt nicely. If you want to put a border of yellow on first, that would be great and would make the dark blue stand out even more but without being overbearing.
That's just my humble opinion. BTW your quilt is really pretty!
