Everyone - thank you! I didn't consider using the darker brown as a border for the compass, but I think that would work well. Especially since I have the boat name embroidered with the dark brown color. I love the peach color behind the compass (Actually, I love a lot of the materials I used, especially the paler blues. That's a surprise to me. I usually go for brighter stuff.) So I am going to do the outer border with the peach. I now have a direction and can get back to the machine!
BTW, the boat cushions are in teal and green, which is why I was thinking about the teal border, but I'm ditching that idea! Oh yes, it's a boat, so I'll 'scuttle' that idea.
