This is really nice. I think I would add 1 1/2" border & possibly a 3 1/2" outter border. If using a cute print for outter border, I would use one of the darker solid colors for the inner border, so the eye has a place to stop before getting to the outter border. It won't appear to be too busy then. I can also see a border of 1/2 square triangles (possibly 5") put together in shark's tooth pattern, but would still use darker inner border to stop the eye. Does that help?
