I found you, and sure it does! <g>
However, I am thinking ... why couldn't you cut it into those 2 1/2 inch squares or even strips ... use it for binding?
put it with an accent color and make half square triangles.
The trick to make it a better accent than distraction is to cut it small enough that the original form is obliterated.
what does it look like if you cut it in strips across what you have pictured, rather than parallel with the design?
