As so many have stated no border, after critiqueing it again, I agree totally. I had to move the star farther over on the design wall so I moved the border to the other side. YIKES!!!! Did not go well at all. The 1st photo showed it near the same reds as in the border so it looked like it would go but now that its on the other side, a complete transformation. As this will only be a wallhanging going above the bed, the size will still be okay. Before it was almost too large so everything will work out just fine. Thanks all who responded to help me see the light.
The light colored pen stripe is actually a creme to yellow with a little pink batik fabric I had in my stash. I didn't care for the yellowish-green one they used in the pattern. The fabrics used all came in a pack of 150 strips in the size of about 2 x 6.5 so not much leftover to use as someone suggested. But the leftovers won't go to waste as there is always appliqued ?? they might fit.
Thanks again all for your help in helping me not make a BIG MISTAKE.
