    I have been winging this round by round. I know it needs something to "slow it down". I am thinking a border in black around 4-5 inches. It presently measures 50 x 56"

    What do you guys think?

    Beautiful piecing. I agree with your thoughts on the black border. Will give you a rest from the red.

    That is just too cute! I like your idea...4" black border will slow it down just enough.

    Solid black border would work nicely.
