Do you have another row of animals? I think I would leave the animals (Zebras) as the first row, use the stripes for the next-to-last row, then add a row of animals (Monkeys or something) for the last row. It would balance the wide and narrow rows better. I don't care for adding stripes at the top, but it just looks too added on at the bottom and needs a a narrow row of something, preferably animals or jungle print, to finish it. Its a really cute quilt. That's my two cents worth! LOL
