[QUOTE= Maybe use the dark fabric for binding too. If you need to add a 2nd border to make the quilt bigger, I would choose one of the green, blue or gold fabrics.
Thanks to both you and ManiacQuilter2! Some good thoughts and very welcome to this "learning" quilter. I have yardage in the blue/black so can easily make a border and binding as well. For the other fabrics though, I have 5" squares and some strips about 8" long (enough to make a second border). I need now to try the quilt on the bed and see how much longer it needs to be. It will help narrow down the ideas. Thanks again for all your thoughts!
