I'm going to be contrary and suggest that you look for a yellow to bring out the yellow in the blocks, then the border, then bind in blue and green in 6" segments!

I would use the green for the border and then bind it in blue, just my humble opinion.

How about blue and then bind with the green after the nursery strip. Or reverse it! Either one is a good choice!

Hi, I think that if you use the red in the second border it should be quite narrow as the two red borders in the pic are visually too much. If using the green, I would use a darker shade, not that pastel one. The blue is ok.
Actually, if you pieced the colors end to end as you have them in the pic I think it would lend a little touch of excitement rather that doing the expected!

I personally like the green. It feels more restful and sends the eye to the blocks in the center. The blue would be my second choice. It also sends the eye to the blocks. The red just sends the eye to the other border.

Just to throw the cat among the pigeons, why not one colour top & bottom and the other colour on the sides

If possible, I would pick out a yellow border to bring out the yellow in the design, then maybe a dark blue, green or even black binding to move the eye towards the center.
