I like the idea of yellow since it is the colour in the smallest amount in the quilt. Have you thought about a flange binding using a narrow strip of yellow and then blue. Here is a link to a tutorial;

There is another method for flange binding using both colours and sewing them together first (one is slightly wider than the other) and then sewing on the binding. I know there is a tute for that too but I don't have the link.

might have to do that again. I have a big piece of the blue left, but cut length wise, so no stretch
thats what I am pondering now.
thanks for the link on the tute! I might try to do it this way. the last one I made by sewing 2 colors together first.
