How much fab did you begin with. How much of the fab is not used. Can you show?

Beautiful fabric! Border prints can be used so many ways and I think you figured out a winner.

Your thread topic is perfect for me. In fact I was about to post a similar one myself. I was going to ask if anyone can recommend a book that is about working with stripes and wallpaper/border prints.
I have a nice stash of both and would love to use them in ways similar to what you are doing.
Because I have fibromyalgia, I can't trust my brain to figure it out on my own without wasting a lot of fabric. LOL So I'd love to find a book that has lots of ideas that are as creative as you have been with this idea.

Any suggestions out there in QB land?

Great use of a border fabric. By your labels I think this is a design that I took a class on a few years ago. The finished product is really interesting. If that is the case this beautiful stripe will be fantastic. It is a fun pattern.
