I also like the narrow border and then the floral. Also, since the floral is a strong repeating pattern, it might be fun to work with that design.
Since it's for a baby, what would a baby like? As baby's develope, the first thing they can see is contrast in value and bright colors. They also look to "eyes". I think the way the floral is in the picture suggests eyes. I think the baby would be looking at the border. Then as baby developes, there's other things to see.

Another vote for the floral. Maybe do two sides in floral and two in green. (I'm thinking top and right side=floral; bottom and left side=green). Hope this is clear????
Lucky baby girl. The quilt is adorable.

With all these responses, it will be interesting what your final decision will be! I like the floral but find both it and the green a little overwhelming, especially for a baby. I'm not seeing the appliqued blocks--just color. Do you have enough of the green with the little white flowers to use it for a border? Perhaps it's not as bold as the other choices.
