Fantastic Art Quilt !!
I've never made a Jelly Roll 1600 before, but someone posted one on here earlier in the week and it inspired me. At Christmas time, I bought a "grab bag" from Craftsy, and one of the things in it was a kinda ugly jelly roll. Here's the result:

Fabric detail.
It's kind of busy, eh? But I was amazed at how fat it went together. I think I will back it with yellow and donate it to our United Way auction at work, which we hold in the fall.

I think you should do a 1" border all around using one of the darker colors, followed by a 6" border of one of the larger floral prints. Then bind with the same fabric as the 1" border. I know you will have to order more fabric for this, but it really puts a pretty finishing touch on a 1600 quilt. Been there, done that.
