I would go with the gold or the white.

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...?
bev. :]

I would bring out small orangy color in design or blue gray color in patch. I personally wouldnt go for gold, because already has much gold. i try to utilize all colors, took 3 yrs art in school. betty

You may choose any color of the colors that are on this mat but I prefer the darker....Also depends on the color of the furnitures around.....Whatever...good luck..let us see the results :thumbup:
