I'm having the same dilemma as you! Thought I'd put narrow (2 1/2" ) solid border on mine and then do a sashing
With up- down all around this...um, kinda hard to describe what I mean...each single block will go one way and next goes opposite way all the way around border

First thing I thought of was a small white stopper border and a floral that picks up both colors. Me and my Sister use those colors alot.

Here is just one of their lines. The top left one would match. Then you could wake up your brain with some quilting.I have no affilation with this company. Just love their bright fresh colors and designs.

These ideas are good, but they may be more ambitious than I am. I am just ready to be done with this quilt. I think I will clean out my closet and make border decisions later. Thanks for all of the ideas!!

All those corners you chopped off, did you keep them? If so, could you possible use them put together as maybe diamond with a white strip on either side of them? I try to use up everything that comes off my blocks so no leftovers.

That is what I was thinking too. I could not tell if it had the white border or just the blocks on a design board, but I like it the way it looks now (if it is the wide white border.) Love the flange idea. You, also, could make the binding/flange a little wider for a little more color and use a decorative stitch on the flange to attach binding to quilt.
