I love the simplicity of the pattern--could be because I'm working on a church dash. Agree with DH==don't add ants! Are you going to add a border or just go straight to binding? I would carry the simplicity theme through to just adding a border IMHO.

I agree with Omacookie, I would sash in a 2in (finished at 1.5in) or 1.5in (finished at 1in) solid black. This would create a frame around each block, even with the offset it would look nice. Then I would frame out the whole center in a solid black border same size as the sashing, then a wider border in a plain black/white gingham. I would bind in a solid black with a small solid red flange or piping. I would then quilt it using leaves and meanders with loops and twirls in the green that matches the green in the cherries.
That is how I would finish the quilt.
