Your blocks are gorgeous. If you alternate them with simple 2-color hourglass blocks, they will appear to be framed and set on point, like in this quilt:

That's what I'd do with those gorgeous blocks, to make them look special.

I think it should be a quilt. Beautiful blocks. A dark green or black sashing will tie it all together. If you have some of the original fabric maybe a border? With the sashing color repeated as the binding.

Those are gorgeous blocks. How about a lime green or one of the lighter shades of green in the mix? Maybe as the setting triangles and I found in doing my own bright quilt, that the wrong color of green as sashing really diminishes the vibrancy of the colors. Black is a great choice as well and lets the colors shine.

Some of the ideas already given, fit with what I did with my 4PP.
I didn't like the blocky-ness of the conventional setting, so went with on point and then continued on.
Here's a picture of my 4PP flimsy. It's on my black design wall, so you can barely see the outside border, which is a black with a gold metallic scroll design of sorts.
