I would go with either the border fabric or the same dark blue shade as in the border. I also think luvspaper's idea of a striped fabric would be cute if you can find a stripe in the same colors as in the border.

I was thinking of a solid or something that reads solid and in a color that you pull from the border. I think that will tie it all in nicely. I just happen to like my bindings to be a little different.
I think I have that pattern in a book of baby quilts, but I've never made it. I like your color choices.

What a pretty quilt! It is perfect for a girl, and I would bind it in the same fabric as the last border...or maybe in a darker blue. Just beautiful. I have never accepted that blue was for boys and pink for girls. Blue is for everyone.

What about the "flanged" border that has a tutorial on the site here? Sunny yellow for the flange part and either the border fabric or a strip with those colors or the darker blue as the "bulk" of the border?

My first response would be to pick up the dark blue that is in the border flowers, but if that is not available and you have more border fabric I would do that. I shy away with lighter fabrics because they get dirty and some times it doesn't wash out as well.
