Wow! thanks ladies for all the suggestions.
Setting on point was not something that even crossed my mind - hence putting the request out on the board; there is so much talent and plethora of ideas.
I do love the colors and the energy the blocks give off; I am a conundrum to myself :-). I mostly do primitive colors, and lots of applique, but every once in a while I allow myself to journey into vibrant colors. They are so fun to work with. My avatar is a quilt I recently made for a quilt swap. It was a fun change of pace to work in those bold colors.
Burchquilts - I tried to find the pattern but my studio is in the midst of transformation. I will the locate the pattern and share it with you.
Thanks everyone for your input, whether it was a suggestion or comment. I will post a photo when the top/quilt is completed.
best,

Then you could use half square triangles of almost any color (love that blue), or more than one color (which would be my choice, up to 3 colors) to fill in around your blocks. Then a very vibrant narrow border, something from the quilt that really stands out and is noticed. I'd think you'd have to get the top together before you could "audition" for this part. Then a wider border for the edge; I'm thinking one of the lighter colors from the top. Then just for fun, a binding made up of strips of all (or at least many) of the colors in the top. IMHO.
