Really love those scrappy quilts!

After the time and trouble you went to to make it I don't think you should settle on your choice for the borders. (If you're asking, it could be you're not completely satisfied with any of your choices.) If it was mine, I would go with a white border to match the blocks with the white borders. I think that would really bring them out.
My 2 cents,
Rodney

I agree with Rodney...but I would use green for the binding.

I think prairie points would really dress it up. I don't see prairie points much any more, but I love them. I think a solid color for the prairie points would look great.

I like the blue best.

I think it pops all by itself. How about no border?

The blue would be great. Very pretty.

I would do maybe a 1/2 inch of the blue then finish with the random 2 inch squares. Very nice!!! Can't wait to see what you decide!

When I read your first post, this is what came to mind immediately. You have all those 2 in. squares, so use them alternately with white squares. I love this type of border. I see Karen J. has also recommended this pattern for the border.

I think the blue one. The other two seem too light to "contain" the vibrant center.
