One of my favorite things to do, in your quilts case, might be to add the black between the rows and outside (3 strips) in a narrower width, perhaps 4", then do some piano keys on the outsides and finish with a 2" black border all around.
I do wish I had more of the fabric to do the piano keys around. Right now I am thinking about doing a 2 inch frame around each block and find a color I have in my stash that goes with the colors in the fabric for a 3-4 inch finishing frame around the whole thing. I am only using from my stash.

Thanks for all of the input. I may wait a few more days before I do anything with this.
