Simple 4-patch using colors in the other blocks - could also be set on point.

I like ManiacQuilter2's idea. Use your print for the border and one the sashings for a block, like her example.

I think the print is too busy to use beside your blocks. I would put solid colors next to the block. The print would be a good border and /or backing.

I agree with this.

The sppliqued blocks are a delight. I think "framing" the individual blocks andadding neutral space between them would sbowcase each block.
