No extra fabric came with this so I will need to buy something to use as a binding. What do you recommend? (I apologize for the poor photography.) The piece is 82 inches long. Each block varies but is close to 16".

It's very pretty. Personally, I would use a plain navy as close as possible to the navy in the runner. I wouldn't want to take the focus off of those squares.

I guess I'm rather conservative but I'd go with blue. Maybe with gold piping...?
