I think its wonderful! IMHO I would probably do a dark sashing between the blocks to break up the beige. Maybe a brown, black or grey. Just an option.

Personally only my opinion...I'd take out one of the middle borders and only have one. This way you'd have the botton one, one middle one and the top one...Then I'd frame the entire piece and do a binding...If you want to leave the extra middle then I'd put another frame around all 6 using the same color for each, then border, then bind.

It looks fantastic and I love the bird fabric. The purple is great, it adds sparkle!
