It is gorgeous! I thought you had framed/sashed the blocks with gray, but it is just laid out on the gray?
I love the gray, sash it & border it with the same.
Stark black would also work beautifully. Think of all those bright on black Amish quilts!

Pretty blocks! For borders, I'd add a black one, say 2", then add a 1.5" once color from blocks border. Finish by adding another black border about 4".
Surely anything you decide will be great! The black with the bright colors is just great!

This is one of the prettiest string quilts ever!!! About the border, maybe one of the darkest blues from the quilt? Perhaps a narrow strip of odd-length colors between two dark borders? Who knows. You've done great so far so I'm sure whatever you do will be perfect:)

If you want to "contain" all of the colors, go for black, if you're thinking contempory, pick one of the bright colors and go for it!!
This is going to be a very striking quilt, which ever you choose!
