Default Looking for advice

I’m making my daughter a quilt. I had her pick out fabric for the quilt. The quilt pattern is broken herringbone which I’m making in a Joann quilt class. The class calls for a 4” border using the background fabric. In this case it is light grey/silver. The quilt is supposed to finish at 48x58. But my daughter is tall. So I’m thinking of adding a second border. I don’t want to draw attention from the herringbone pattern. I had fabric in my stash that I thought would play nicely with the other fabrics. How wide should I make the 2nd border? Would a 2.5” outside border look ok? Or should it be wider than the inside border? I’ve included a picture. Thanks in advance for your advice.
