Alright, let's try this again.

I went through my own batiks and found that they were too jewel-like, too pink and purple, and this quilt was calling primary colours.
I went to the store and found a beautiful batik for my border, but it ended up looking too pink next to the other reds and nothing else seemed to fit right. I settled for a really cool crackle, and tried the carpenter's square for the corner blocks. It's only crooked in the picture, because I haven't sewn the red borders to it yet, but I went for the same 1/4 inch black that we see in the original center, and used that as my narrow black border and in my corner blocks.
I actually like this one, but I'm wary of making it too busy...
