How about neither one? Both are in the quilt background, so they 'bleed' where the border touches the block. I'd use a pretty bright coral if that's the color in the floral blocks.

Cream - then a thinner green - then the floral. Yup!

Suzi's on the right track, imho, but I'd do it this way:

Make a thin border (finished width = 1/4" to 1/2") of either the cream or the green. Follow with a thicker border (finished width = 1" to 1 1/2"). Then add a wide floral border (finished width = 2" to 5").

I think you'll LOVE the frame this gives the quilt!

What about a narrow cream border then the green? I would like the way the cream separates the quilt from the border and the green makes it pop!
