I would do three solid colored borders each about 2 1/2 inches and put a different colored square in the corners. I would start with that red and use blue or green squares for the corners. Then maybe yellow with purple squares, and lastly a blue border with orange squares.

How about a solid WHITE border with multicolored binding??

I would maybe go with a black thin boarder and maybe find some fabric with rainbows on it and then make a thicker boarder to go around the quilt. and have that as the backing? and then use a black as a binding. but that is just me. i like to have quilts that look like pictures framed nicely. that is why if i don't put on a boarder i will put on a very thick binding.
