How about piecing together all your different fabrics and use that to make a narrow flange or a skinny piping. Put it right next to the binding, which I'd think would be black. That will pull those colors out to the edge and make a nice frame for the quilt, with the black binding.

I agree with coldquilter, piano keys really set off a no. of quilt patterns.

How about quilting it with variegated threads of some of those beautiful brilliant colors? I am thinking of the quilting on the black just to tie in the colors and to create a continuous thought of color.

Ditto. I like the piano keys idea for bringing the batiks to the edge.

To keep it quick, how about after trimming the current black border to the size of the sashing, then add miniatures of the batik blocks, perhaps 1/4 or 1/8 size in matching and coordinating batiks, end to end in a strip around the outside. Bind in black or border again in black, depending on the size quilt you want to end up with.
