The example is scap I had left over - turned different ways...do you like either of those (straight ones of course!) or the brown?

I agree with what someone else just said: usually I like to see the uncut fabric in the border but for some reason, the solid brown seems to look better on this one - not that the print would be a bad thing if you decide to go that way. Perhaps you could at least include a square of it on the back?
