I really like your quilt. It is a refreshing twist on the stack and whack idea. It is amazing how many of us missed it in Bethany Reynolds book. I went to find my book and sure enough-I had missed it. Since you want to enlarge it and since you found more fabric what about making some more squares to use in the enlargement? And, what about a narrow border of a solid or near solid fabric and use the original fabric for the final border? It would certainly create conversation as the viewers would enjoy trying how to figure out how you did it.

I'm doing a similar quilt that is in an alexandersonquilts book. I'm anxious now that i see it, to get going gung-ho! For whom are you making yours ? A great fabric for a hunter/camper! Do you have a summer cottage? It looks great!!

What if I was to use that in the border as my final strip? Just asking. Let me know if you need pictures. Thanks

I would put a dark border as someone mentioned to stop all that is going on in the middle then proceed to add other borders. What you have picked out for borders works well but a dark border maybe even after the light green and not before would work well I think. I would love to see the finished product.
