Default Help in "growing" a quilt

I'm a huge Bonnie Hunter fan and recently put the center blocks of her Chunky Churndash together. (A picture of hers is here: http://www.quiltville.blogspot.com/2...hurn-dash.html.) I was hoping to make more, but as I don't have more of the fabric used for the hourglass blocks, am at the size in the original pattern. The center is 66.5", so will finish @ 66".

Borders from pattern would make the quilt 80" x 80", but I'd like to get it to be more like 90" square.

Any suggestions for expanding the quilt would be appreciated! Obviously, Icould add another "plain" border, but I think that would be too boring. Should I do a pieced border - assuming I can figure that out! - between two solid
borders? Or do the borders as directed, then a pieced border?

Thanks very much for any ideas.

Peace and Joy,
Robin
