Beautiful blocks!! If it were mine I'd use the blue, and put a narrow (1/2 inch?)darker blue inner border first; the blue you have is too light to "stop the eye" - IMHO.
Or you might want to try a narrow inner border using the rust. Then a wider outer border in the green print with the rust flowers.
Show us a pic when its done please?

Choose the border color in regards to which color you want to bring out in the quilt. For me it would be the orangey-brown but maybe you want to go to the softer blue.
