How about a stripe like this one from CT? I used it in a recent quilt & loved it. I think it would go with your top quite nicely.

I like the floral boarder idea, it would look great I think.

That is a nice top. A few years ago I won some BOM pinwheels. When I put them together I was able to find a stripe print that made a perfect border. Another option would be a pretty floral or one of the mixed color prints that look like something from a Monet painting.
