Blocks using fall leaves fabric would add motion and beauty also. So many lovely camo/woodsy leaves fabrics available right now. Would bring in the green too. I like the idea of rail fence blocks on top and bottom to add length.

Love what you have done so far. It is going to be a beautiful quilt. You could put another row of sashing around the blocks not sewn together. Maybe a green around the gold color ones & gold around the green ones. It also looks as if maybe your green ones are bigger than your gold ones? If so, put an extra wide sashing around the gold blocks & then square them up to the same size. You could also add a row all the way around with a square in a square on point & put the dark border in between these rows of blocks. This would increase both length & width then add another wider final border.

How about a dark Hunter Green between the panel, then another narrow border, and I really like the ideas below about making dark green Hunter Star blocks for the border. It's a great quilt.
