    I was so into this wall hanging. I had it all cut out and wasn't happy with the first batch of centers so I started over. Then I came down with a bad, bad case of bursitis in my shoulder. I finally got it all pieced together. I was so careful doing my measuring and cutting; I just don't think it was meant to be. Not happy at all how some of the blocks (didn't) measure up but need some suggestions as to what color I should border it in. Thanks for your suggestions.

    I agree orang, but maybe a small border first, of black, or perhaps that lovely print.

    I would go with a narrow orange border and a wider brown one. That is really pretty.

    Still not getting the police statements. The police are helpers. Well, when criminals are involved ;-) I think it looks fine. I would somehow incorporate, if possible, the background you chose. Hard for me to say because I am not sure what you are seeing as an end game as far as size and usefulness.
