You can really see all the matching up that needs to be done. Did the pattern you were using not call for continuing the vortex into the center? Was is based on Andi's DVD?
If you're not making an exact duplicate of THE quilt, then you can put a brown center with some fabulous applique - some sort of motif that you might like (birds, flowers, whatever).
And so it's not bright red. I've never really understood the need to make EXACT duplicates of existing quilts. (Although, that said, look at the winner of Paducah this year)
For me - I'm really, really fond of spirals. Sort of continues the vortex/wormhole effect (and speaks to the sci-fi geek in me ;-) ). And that motif could be continued on the border/background. And done. Wall hanging. Unless you wanted it as the center of a bed quilt.

I was in Gilbert, AZ in mid-May and went to their quilt show. Just inside the door was this quilt only in navy/white. It was the first time I saw this pattern and it was stunning! Don't think I'll make one tho. The Spicy Spiral was enough of a challenge for me!

There was a discussion about it on TreadleOn a few months ago and I ordered Andi's DVD, but I still need to order the 9º ruler for cutting the segments.
