I would likely swap out the light blue fabric for some black Kona cotton and use that as my sashing...then place a 2" finished border of black around the whole thing followed by a 2 1/2" border of the red and it will quiet it down while "outlining" like we did when coloring as kids... just like in comic books. Just lay a bit of it out and see what you think. Carly in SC
