Daffodil Wreath! So exciting!

I have been inspired by Lucy of Attic 24!  And distracted from finishing the baby blanket again.... Ooopsies!
 
Lucy is making a Easter wreath out of all sorts of beautiful crocheted flowers.  I have really enjoyed seeing her daffodils and wanted to make some for myself as soon as she put the pattern up (here).  I have decided that my wreath will be a spring time wreath.  I will make lots of daffodils and a green wreath. I am very excited to see it come together.   
 
 
I think I will pull some more inspiration from the construction of a spring time wreath Lucy worked on a while ago.
 
You know, its very hard to stick to one project when my fingers just want to keep trying new crochet things.

Nickel for your thoughts?

Any thoughts on what type of boarder I should do?  Or what colour I should use?  Should I stick with the colours that are in the blanket?  Or add others? Use the granny square pattern and just continue that way?  Or do some type of fancy boarder? 
I have not done a boarder before... so if there are any tips/ideas out there for granny square blanket boarders I would love to hear them.

So far I have just done two rounds of single crochet in white.
 
When Matt of According To Matt, made his Glorious Granny Greatness!!!,  that was when I knew I wanted to someday be making a granny square blanket.
I hope mine turns out just as great!
