Just a quick question for you all. Would you do 7 rows of three blocks or 5 rows of 4 blocks? The quilt is supposed to have borders around the blocks. Not sure what colour to do them yet any ideas for that too would be great. Here's a picture of what I have so far 2 rows of 3 blocks.

That fabric will make a striking quilt and it looks like you got a great start on it.

Gorgeous fabric! How big are the blocks? Are you making a lap quilt? If you have 10" blocks and add 1" sashing (one of the darker colors or black) and then a 1" border after you sew the rows together, the quilt will then be 34" X 78" if you go with 3 across and 7 down. With 4 and 5, it will be 45" X 56". You can always make the border or sashing wider or put on an extra border if you want it to be larger.
