Here's a border similar to what you are describing. Using the florals from the main quilt, I cut the strips into different lengths (3" - 6" I think) and joined them all. The only part of the planning was to not join two of the same strips together. Gosh ... reminded me ... I still have several feet of these strips sewn together I can use on something. I was originally going to bind the quilt in it but decided against it.
