If you have enough fabric, add the lighter border, then frame that with a flying geese border of your leftover fabrics. Make binding of your dark fabric, or piece a binding from scraps.

Lately I've noticed that quilts with very light borders, those borders seem to fall off. They almost never add to the design. Just like a white frame on a picture. It rarely works.

As a lap robe its big enough but if you might want to use it as a throw or wall hanging add the border.
