I was perusing the children's fabric at my LQS last week and there are some adorable fabric lines in bright colors with all sorts of themes (dinasours, bugs, aliens, etc). I wonder if you could work these blocks into a quilt using these kid's fabrics. Maybe even use your blocks as large cornerstones in a themed quilt. Try window shopping online for children's fabrics to get some ideas. What you have is an opportunity to exercise the creative side of your brain (I can never remember if it is the left or right side). I would have brainstorm away and have fun with them!!

I'd go with the same dark blue as sashing then a narrow border of the light blue and a wide border of the dark blue again. Another obvious choice is a black marble in one wide border with the dark blue as sashing. The blue will balance the yellow without making it look sickly (or sickening).
I actually like the colors. :oops:

Actually, I really like red and yellow together.

YOU HAVE GOTTEN SOME REALLY GOOD IDEAS HERE TO WORK WITH. I THINK IF YOU WANT YOUR COLORS TO POP GO WITH THE BLACK SASHES THEN THE BLUE OTHERWISE THE TWO BLUES WOULD BRING IT TOGETHER. THE BLUE IS KIND OF UNIFORM FOR IT ALL. GOOD LUCK AND LET US HAVE A LOOK SEE WHEN ITS DONE.
