I'm so happy you like my suggestion! Collaborating with others on quilt options is something I really enjoy.
Looking over my image, I just now realized that the shapes the dark fabric was making were inconsistent, which bothers me. Here is an image with the border blocks rotated so they make consistent shapes. (You could also try out the layout with the all the border blocks rotated 180 degrees - that will reverse where the two dark fabric shapes are in the border.)
