I'd use a deeper, golden yellow like that in the print but which is NOT used in the other fabrics. AND I'd make it narrower than what you've cut now. Let it be a "stopper border" ("stops" the action of the blocks before adding the borders so those fabrics don't "bleed" into the borders.)

If you have a piece nearer that color, just lay it along beside the blocks and see if you don't see what I mean. Sort of like this:

I like the more narrow"stop" then wider borders but I have yet another idea use your solid green as the inside narrow border then wider borders of yellow white and yellow again.

Or

Do you have more of the print? how about using that in the border

Narrow green, wider yellow, print, yellow or white then green again . That would mimic the path in the quilt.
