Since the colors are soft I would choose a soft green or blue for sashing. What a great find.

The non glare glass with spacers between the glass and fasbric. If left unglassed, the material will deteriate over time and and the paint would start to deteriate and flake off.

I like the framing idea in groupings. Or make small wall hanging in groupings.
