Great link! So many possibilities. . .

Perhaps balance the design by moving the blocks to make a layout of 4 X 6 squares with no sashing and having 2 large diamond squares (4 block unit) at the top and bottom. Then a narrow medium color border border - red??? - then a darker border.

Sometimes the only way I can figure out sashing and borders, is to audition several colors of fabric, take pictures, and one will stand out. Your quilt will be beautiful however you choose to complete it!
