Like some of the others, it is a cute quilt, but I am not fussy on your two new fabrics.
I like them .. but not with the quilt you are working on now.

One consideration ... by chance is it big enough the size it is now at, before borders?
If so, you could stop there, and put a binding on it.

I like the third one with two borders, and your unposted fourth one with them reversed would probably work as well. When a quilt isn't all matchy-matchy I tend to think it looks better with more colors/fabrics.

Working with what you have, I would do a narrow blue border then a wide ducky border. However, I think they're a bit too pale to really enhance the beautiful blocks you've made.

I personally love the duckies, and would be tempted to save them for a different quilt where they could be the star.

I would get some red gingham for a border on this one. A green print would be nice, too, but it might be hard to get a green that compliments what you have in the blocks.

as some have said, I'm not crazy about either fabric for this project (although cute fabrics). do you have enough leftover pieces to make a piano key border? use a narrow white border to frame the project then the piano keys outer border. I've even done odd sizes going around and it still turns out cute.

what is that blue we see in the background? part of this quilt?

I agree with Peckish.
