I agree. If you don't add a small border of fabric not in the body of the quilt, it will look like the fabric from the quilt is "leaking" into the border. I often use a black fabric that has the colors in the quilt - it makes bright colors pop.
I like this suggestion the best. You don't want to detract from the fun of the quilt top. Then use A for the outside binding and the back.
