Okay Andrea...your center gave me "fits". I went to the a LQS and 2 people there gave me two ideas and I bought the fabric for both and made one side of each suggestion and hated both as your dynamic center screamed at me - "NO, NO, not that!" Then I went out and bought a book on borders and auditioned yet a third version and again it did not work with the drama of your center. Alas, I had to accept that the fact that a more exciting border would have to come later as the beauty of your center was completely over shadowed with my futile attempts to complement it with borders that were just too busy and frankly, looked awful. I hope you don't hate the plain border too much.
