Another military mom and wife here. The light and dark fabric combo is fine. If you do use the gold for the binding, then I would choose a light gold for the quilting and do some nice designs in the darker areas. You will be surprised how that will brighten it up. Please thank your son for his service, and as a mom I hope that your worries will be few. My husband did two Iraq tours before retiring, and our son is currently stationed in Okinawa, Japan. My warmest prayers and blessings to you and your family for your son's safe return.
