Narrow white border and then an eye popping wider one of red or something bright.

I agree- stay with the white. It lets all the colors shine. If you picked a color, that would be the dominant color. Not that that would be bad, but I love the way all your colors are now. Great job!

I like the white/light sashing best of all. And the added photos of previous quilts are beautiful, too. I particularly like the pinwheel one, what a great quilt! You have wonderful 'leftovers'! If I may ask, what were the finished pinwheels, themselves, so nice.

I vote with Tartan. Use one of the colors already in the blocks (or a shade off) and go with the fun, happy feeling these blocks have. Hope you'll show us when it's done. :-) Nice work so far.

I made a "block of the month" quilt, so each block was different and a different color. I framed each block with a matching or coordinating color, and then put them together with white sashing. My granddaughter said it looked like a quilt show. I really love it.

I would audition a bunch of different colors. You really can't go wrong. Just pick your favorite.

black would look so nice with all those different colors

I like the white...but you could audition other colors easily by hanging different colors (large pcs) on your wall and placing the blocks with spacing between them on the different colors...take pics and see what you like best. Have fun!

My vote is for white. Seems as though I see more white for background color. And I like the idea of highlighting your blocks with it.
