Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Its will be a mini quilt or wall hanging in solids as the giftee does not like flowery prints. I chose shades of blue/ turquoise/lime/grey but need to add width. I also have an ivory in it that I had planned to back with but am now thinking grey or royal blue. Should I add a hot pink or orange .
I like your color choices, and I think your friend will appreciate having no floral, if she doesn't like floral fabric. You could make it wider with borders or another block of the chevron.
I am not good at color selection, so I sure can't help you, but I think your first chevron design is really good.

Lynnie- Thank you. I think it is too long for a wall hanging and to narrow for a throw- ha..
Dina- If I add another whole V section it will be way too wide and a partial section will look silly- so I think I need about 4 inches on each side of one or more of the solid colors to make it 36 wide by 46 long.
I like it the way it is now.sometimes less is more.
or leave well enough alone. I love it the way it is now.
put off till tomorrow what you can do today, and if you procrastinate long enough, you may never have to do it.

Adding one block ( half a zig) to each side will continue the chevron without making it look silly.
Or a border would finish it nicely. I would continue the pattern if it were mine
hiding away in my stash where i'm warm, safe and happy
Do a black flange w/ dark grey border.....keeping it in the modern vein.......
I wouldn't add a screaming pop of color to this quilt because it will stand out like a sore thumb with the other colors that are so soft, calm and soothing. You can add just one row of blocks on either side.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
Finished result
It looks good!
