I am making my 3rd quilt, without a pattern. eek! Now I know why I should stick to a pattern. Too many decisions.
I need to make it 9" bigger all around. I am out of half sq triangles, so no matter what I do, I will be cutting more.
Should I
A. continue one more row all around ending in 1/2 square light diamonds all around.
B. make a full row all around with scrappy dark HS triangles (shown in second pic).
C. Border all around in a 9" strip of dark or light (maybe 4 1/2 of each?) fabric
D. any other brilliant ideas?

That's very pretty - and great job without a pattern!
Two borders, 1.5" light grey then either dark grey or dark blue in 3" border.
does it need to be EXACTLY 9" larger, or AT LEAST 9" larger?
