Oh goodness--that'd be adventurous! I think it'd look awesome--and I have enough fabric left... but I'm going to keep it simple. I don't want it to get too big.
Here are the colors I'm thinking for the border--I want it to blend and frame without distracting. Of course the widths would be different....
