I think of it as "sealing" the patchwork, "floating" the accent, and "framing" the big picture. Hope that makes some sense...it really needs a photo, I know...sorry...not a skill I've mastered yet. OH, forgot to say how much I like your top...I really like your top!
I love this idea for it - will set it off nicely.

Your quilt is wonderful!!
