Thanks everyone for all the links and advice on the border options! I like the fish border idea a lot (I was originally thinking about mice, but I couldn't find an easy/quick basic pattern) and am also playing with connecting the corners as suggested.
To everyone who asked, here is a link to the pdf of the original pattern, called Kool Kats Kwilt and made by Patti Carey.

The blue one I did in EQ7, I will be happy to send out the PJ7 file to anyone interested.
