    First choice is the same fabric as the border. Second choice is yellow because you have a fair amount of yellow in the quilt and mentioned that you have it in the backing. I think your quilt is very pretty.

    I would use a pale yellow or pale teal colored batik for the border. It is a beautiul quilt.

    These days blue is not strictly for boys. I think all the flowers say "girl" enough without worrying about the blue.

    I would bind it in yellow. You have yellow in the border fabric....

    I would also use a flange in yellow with a stripe binding! Pretty quilt!

    Another thought.....what about binding in the background color? It would tie it all together.

    If you have more border fabric I would use that or some of the green you set the blocks together with.

    What a cute quilt. I would go with the border fabric for the binding, or, if you don't have enough, pick out a color in the border and use that.

    I, like Billy's wife, would bind it in the background fabric that is around your blocks. I think it would blend everything in nicely.
