    I suggest the red like the square on the left in the top row. Tan won't make it "pop." Try a bright color.

    Try a printout photo and draw a dark or bright 1" frame to 'contain' it, then a 4 - 5" pastel border, then bind with something bright like one of the central colours of the blocks.

    I love it, very bright and beautiful!

    I would do a narrow dark brown border and them pick a bright color. I like the bright pink or turquoise. Nice quilt.
