I think it's beautiful - really elegant. OBWs don't have to leap up and smack you round the face to work. LOL. I love the way you've got the dark red blocks running through the diagonal. If I could be so bold as to make a border suggestion (which of course you're free to utterly ignore if you like! LOL) - I'd do a skinny inner border (1/2" say) of a toning dark red then an outer border slightly lighter, or even the original fabric if you had enough. Otherwise a tan fabric. But like I said, ignore me if you like!
