I would choose your favorite color from the top, and make a nicely-sized border all the way around so you can feature pretty quilt designs in it. I can see teddy bears, or stars, or hearts..... whatever goes with what you will be doing inside.

I like the green as a border, also. Beautiful baby quilt!

I would try to find a fabric that encompassed all the colors. Use a soft ivory narrow border, then a wider border of the multi-color that you choose. Bind in whichever color you want to pull out.

I think green would look the best although they are all pretty colors.

I am taking it that it is a baby girl, so I would put on a pink border. If you hae the time and fabric either a small yellow or green border then a larger pink border.

This is what I would do too. Use a pretty pastel floral, or other print. You will be amzed at how it will make your D9P colors pop.
