Then do the piano key border around the sashing and done! Simple, quick, and makes good use of what you have without too much detail. If you feel ambitious, set the blocks on point.
I've done a lot of charity quilts with this "pattern" and folks seem to really like them. The pattern makes good use of busy fabric.

I like this suggestion. It will highlight the quitar print

I would use the fabric as a large panel and then use a neutral color (blue or tan) in large blocks around it and applique some of the instruments over the blocks and applique some of the words. I would use the fabric with the words as a wide border. I doubt if the boy is interested in the pattern but will fall in love with the visual of the intact instruments on the quilt. I would make matching pillowcases for him. instruments with a border of words or the neutral color with a border of words.

Tanya - I like the idea of a pillow case, and I have enough of everything to do that. I also have a tiny chocolate brown/tan check to use. I used it as the little corner stones, and there is a pillow sham to match.
I'll post a picture of what I got done so far.
I love my design wall that I bought at JoAnne Fabrics. BUT - the cheap $2 vinyl table cloth I hung up next to it works JUST as well!!!
