Think this is was I will do...
1. Chop the outside border down the middle
2. Add a small plain border (No idea what just yet, will have to see what I have got left.)
3. Chop up the remaining half border width ways and make a scrappy piano style border about 3" wide using up some of the scraps left over and the fabric for the binding I reserved.
4. Add binding to match thin border.
Now does that sound like a decent plan? :D

Very nice Izy, love those borders, that was a great idea
Been out shopping for the IRR border I have to do to Sandpats, gosh its lovely, wait till you see it next week. Took it to the fabric shop with me where they had a patchwork session going on with all Spanish ladies, they went gah gah over it, was considered preciosa.
Sorry for the hijack.
