Oh my, that's a lovely fabric and a great pattern for it!
I think you could do just about anything for the border -- pick up any of the colors, and go narrow or wide. The first thing that leaps to my mind would be a narrow inner strip of the dark purple and then a wider border of mid green or blue. But you could also use one of the rose/burgundy colors.

Love the fabric and the quilt. As Toolazy said, 'Just aout anything. Does the family member have a favorite color? I think asking for their preferance would be my solution. My go to favorite for framing a quilt is the double border as described by Toolazy.

Beautiful fabric. I like using the darker colors for borders, because they seem to make the quilt "pop" and because the borders are usually the first to get soiled and the darker colors help hide that.
