Great! Great! I am so glad to see you were able to use some of the checker border. Its such a sweet addition to the original and I like the falling blocks also. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

My 22-month granddaughter added that design element and we just had to keep it for her Momma. Maybe I should always include the little one in this step of a project...

That was a LOT of work taking the first one apart to salvage what you did.

How about a "string" border between sollid color strips?

How about a random size piano key border. Make the border 2 times the size of the black border. Then finish with a black border and a black or scrappy binding. Luann
