I see stars in the blocks, why don't you audition with sashing? Lay down large piece of fabric using a color from the blocks. I would try the light green or yellow from the gingham, a gray or black, blue or red, tan, taupe, muslin, brown. Next switch it up a little, turn the blocks on point put a narrow border of the darker color and then a sashing. Good luck and I think it will be a fun youth quilt.
Another idea is change the texture for the sashing, use a fleece or minkee or flannel.
