I bought this fabric thinking it would make a nice OBW, was I wrong! I love the original fabric colors, but once it was cut up, putting it together was an eye opener...now I am not sure what to do with it...how do I tone it down or just make it better...????

I like it you could make some of those cubes to put in to take the focus off the main body

What would it look like with a plain border. It is probably a bit busier than what you are used to making.

Thanks ladies, yes it is much busier than I am used too, maybe that is what is bothering me about this...a plain border sounds good, but I am not sure in what color. Maybe I will take some left over fabric to the LQS and see what I can match it up with. I don't think I am a OBW type of person, but I did enjoy the process alot!
