    I really like the pale green. It really makes the individual blocks stand out yet it brings it all together also.

    I vote for green too. It sets offf the white better than the first one. Beautiful blocks.

    I like the second one best....but not crazy about the dark green and sunflowr....seems to me to overpower your quilt.

    Of the two shown, I like the green, but I would be tempted to audition other fabrics as well, to be sure those beautiful blocks are shown to their best advantage.

    I like the light green and then maybe the first choice as your boarder, with a thin board of the dark green at inner edge. Think the sunflowers would be a distraction. Love you blocks.

    I really like the second pic best. But are you definite on the borders? I'm not wild for that part.
