I agree with Mea12 ... as is, it's colors are simply elegant together. Also think your right to use up the embellishment & backing materials you already have if they are color safe, it will give you a great sense of satisfaction. A suggestion you might consider if you know how to crochet; you could crochet the border and/or sashing to make it slightly larger if needed and which would make it function more like a coverlet where the size wouldn't so much matter.
