I'm looking for a second opinion on my center. I like the geometric look and puzzles, so finally settled on a knot. Here's my dilemma. I knew the block would be a little small but thought I would just add a border to beef it up. Now that it's done, something in me is resisting adding a border to what will have more borders added to it. I have drawn up two rough options that are larger. Here's my question......does it look funny with the extra row added and does making it a rectangle instead of a square wreck it? Guess that's two questions! :D :D

As far as adding a border to beef it up...I think your addition actually looks like a continuation of the original design, especially if you keep it square (which I prefer of your 2 designs-no reason, just a personal thing).
I would suppose that the next round will take a different course. I would either make this larger if you need to, keeping it square. I would not add another border that appears to be "another border" at this stage. Does that make sense??
