lol, I thought you were going to say he would wheel you to the stove!
That's what mine would do.
He'd get an Al-Kabong on the head if he did, but you know how they just lose their minds sometimes

As for the border and not being crazy about the fabric...can you do a pieced border?
It doesn't have to be a lot of small pieces.
You could do what I call: going around the corners, pieces - in one color, and connect them in the middles, with another color/print.
That would take about 8 pieces.
Or do four different colored borders...I can think of lots of ways to change it up till you get something you like more.
One of my favorites is to applique on two diagonal corners to give a "lift" to the not-so-liked border fabric.
