Of the original materials I either couldn't see them as a large border or there wasn't enough.
Should I go to the store??? I only need about 3 yds.
Thanks ladies

The border draws my eye out to the edge and away from the center. It also pulls out the gold dashes and they are strong. I am not opposed to that look.
I am a more harmonious person and like balance...so I would probably use a med/dark blue border with the gold...either way is OK...it depends on what you like.

I really like it - there is great contrast, it picks up the gold that is in the center of your blocks and really makes the blues stand out..........
