I agree with everyone on the blue. I also like the idea of using the green for a narrow inner boarder.

I would go with the blue to really make it pop! Very nice quilt!

I agree with DogHouseMom. Since your quilt is a scrappy, you have a lot going on already. The yellow is busy also, so I think it would be too much. The dark blue makes a great "stop" border, then the green calms everything down, and also pulls from the inside of the quilt. Try laying it out as she suggested and see what you think. By the way, the quilt looks great.

I would use the green as a small border then whatever you want as a larger border -- your blocks won't "melt" into the border but will provide your eye a place to stop.
