I think it's missing something though......

Or, I was thinking if this didn't work, I would use it as the backing
I like it but I think I'd probably put a narrow bright or light border between the blocks and the dark border.
I've seen some bright striped fabric, I wonder how that would look?

The wilder the better. I audition fabrics. I'll take the parts of the quilt right into the fabric store (if there's nothing at home that works) and go along with one in each hand holding them up to the bolts of fabric until I find the perfect one.

I love your quilt and the border fabric - I would put a skinny black border before the outer border. JMO! Great job!
