You could leave it as is, or pick a couple of colors from the center and add some sashing strips to extend it. I like adding a 1" strip around and then adding wider bands as necessary to increase its size. Since it is scrappy you have a wide open field for color choice. Just audition strips, and stand back and see what you think. This is where my young granddaughters come in, they love giving their input.

thought I might give it to my DD

Your kitty is adorable. =) I'd pull out some of the colors from that floral to do some additional borders, if you need to get it larger. No reason why you couldn't do a wide scrappy border then another narrow plain border before binding. I think it would look good!
