I also like mutiple borders. Both colors are beautiful and would make nice borders. First a 2" and then the a larger one. Make the second one the size you need to get the quilt to the size you want it to be.

I agree with border suggestions here and that quilt is super. I will have to do one too. I think I have those fabrics too. Happy quilting. You are off to a great start.
I agree with these two! Love what you have done so far.
I would do the double borders.

I would definitely use the dark and hope that your binding leans toward dark. That stops the eye, like a frame on a picture; otherwise, the border sort of drifts off. If you decide to use the green for the border, consider using the dark for the binding. Your fabrics are lovely and you have done a great job on your quilt.

I like the red. Is your stripe going to be cut on the bias? I did a baby quilt with the stripe on the bias and I was impressed. The lady at my LQS suggested it and it turned out great.

I like my borders to be equal to or multiples of my block size. Try a green border the width of your narrow patch and a red border the width of your squares. I assume your stripe has red and green in it. It will look fabulous.

I would put a border in the white/cream first then the red border. I'm new to quilting and may be in left field with my idea.
