I thought about framing it with the twister squares and white on all 4 sides then sashing and binding with the yardage. I thought about cutting the additional squares in half, sewing together in narrow strips and framing around the existing middle, or just simply sewing the squares into strips and framing the middle...help me figure something out! Majority rules!!
I think what I'd do is frame the twisters in with a a dark print. Then make large borders that would be made up of some fairly simple block, maybe rail fence to add more length and width. There are hundreds of simple blocks you could use to make the outer borders. As long as you used the same prints as the center panel, it ought to look fine.
