Border Decisions???

Well, I finally have all 9 blocks pieced and sashed together for this Christmas wallhanging made using a charm packet from the Missouri Quilt Co called "Carolers". (disregard the smudge on the photo)

I need help picking out a fabric for the outer border. I want to pull the quilt together with what I use for the border so I was thinking of using this fabric that has white doves on it. I would fussy cut the fabric so the doves would be upright on all 4 borders. The white of the doves would help soften the 2 white blocks inside the quilt as well.

So what do you think?
