I would use the white as the border and navy blue as the binding. Very cute.

That's such a pretty quilt! I don't have advice on borders. Would have to see them.
I love it :D

Yes, I like the idea of a muticolored border after a solid maybe the yellow or white and then a solid binding color.

A thin border in yellow white, followed by blue or purple would be nice. Or try a piano key border~

What a lovely design! I would add a border the same color as the center of the flower and then follow it with a border of blue.

I see a small inner border of yellow because there is no yellow touching outside edges of blocks. And then, one of the darker colors - like green - for outer border. I like green as it goes with all flowers.

Thats exactly what I was thinking with the narrow yellow border first, will make it pop and then frame with green for the outer border and the binding. Would be a nice finish to a gorgeous and happy-looking quilt!
