Spring Quilt-A-Long Progress and HELP NEEDED!

I finally have the blocks and inner border done for the Spring Quilt-A-Long. I'm using Sunkissed fabric and wanted to stay away from the greens and oranges to keep this quilt softer. And being me I had to have a rhyme and reason to the blocks. Can you see the pattern that I used? (The pattern is at the bottom of this post.)




Now I need your help. I can't decide which fabric to use for the outer border. Here are the contenders:
1. Solid yellow
2. Pink with white flowers
3. Grey with white and pink circles
Please help me decide!
 



The pattern of the blocks is that the square diagonally is an opposite square.

  2. I also like the pink.

    I liked the solid yellow at first, but when I looked at the larger picture, it just seems abrupt to box in something with so much texture with a plain solid.

    Also, I love that you modified the sashing and put the pink "life" square in.

  3. i do like the solid yellow, but the grey has a nice calm appeal to me. and it would really make the pink squares pop!
