Agree with others, Trene. It does need a place to rest the eye and think black to be the perfect choice. For me there's enough going on to stimulate the eye...think red sashing and border would only serve to overstimulate and, personally, my eye would be jumping all over the place focusing on nothing. If it were mine I would, also, just stitch in the ditch around each of the motifs to subtely further separate one from the other...just my opinion. Good luck....don't give up...it'll be fine!
