I think I would use yellow or variegated. As for pattern, the quilt is so busy. (and very happy, indeed) that I think a meander would be the best bet.

wow great colour

You have to ask yourself do you want to see the colours in the quilt or the quilting or both.
Once you have made up your mine then you will know how to quilt your top.
Stitch in the ditch.. you will see the colours in the quilt
Or any of the above if you want to see the quilting.

Have fun
