This is really nice! I love the look of all the braiding. I would sew all the braiding together so the braiding is the main focus and put a nice border around it to frame it out for the top of the bed (maybe with some appliquing) and then so something different from the top down. Here's my thought. I see that's its already the length, have you thought about cutting it down to fit as a top and use the remainder for matching shams and pillows on the bed? Would be stunning.
