This is my table runner. What's it need?

I love to sew little projects.
Our daughter asked if dad would paint her kitchen (she's getting married this fall) & she's going with a light aqua color. Very popular right now among the young people.
I've never done the pineapple paper piecing 'til now ... have enjoyed doing this a lot.
I think it would look better if I had a 2nd row of these blocks, but I also think that it would make the runner "more busy" so I want to stick with just the one row.
I think I should put white around it, as shown.
But I also think that it "needs" a little border between the blocks & the white. Maybe 1/4" ?
I'm just not sure which color.
Thought I would bind it using the dark blue/light blue fabric that you see in the block,
but maybe I should use that as the border between the blocks & the white?
Would I then use it again for the binding, or maybe choose another color ... something lighter, maybe?
Regardless, I think that this needs something between the blocks & the white, but I'm not sure what.
Can you help me figure this out?
Please remember, I'm kinda new @ this & since it's a shower gift, I would like it to be nice.
Thanks!

Very pretty!! If you want to put a frame around it, perhaps the deep blue or even the royal blue. Then perhaps a lighter blue for the border to rest your eyes and soften it. Your piecing is beautiful!!
