You have the orange strip left with the wolves. You carefully measured and see you have enough to piece it long enough for the border. You don't think you have any other use for it, because you don't really like it. You got the wolf fabric specifically for this specific person, so maybe you feel it ought to only be used for that person. These thoughts, combined thoughts, multiple thoughts, and other thoughts you can think of to increase the list-- do they really constitute a reason to use it in the border? Are you thinking about using it simply because it matches this particular quilt? Maybe your decision might be a pros and cons type of decision, if that's how you like to make artistic decisions. In the end, the quilt is your creative effort.
If you're simply wanting to use up the fabric, there are plenty of quilters that would take it off of your hands. :-)
