And it was a good guess. . .

.   .   .but not completely right.  I was wondering what would be done with "Red No. 3" fabric called for in the initial yardage.  I figured binding, or a solid border.  But instead it was used for setting triangles without a border, which looks a little unfinished to me.  I laid fabric out around the blocks this morning and took some pictures so I can imagine how it would work.

Just print setting triangles:
 Or print setting triangles and a print border, using a few of the leftover nine patches for a corner detail, which would be optional:

I like the print on the setting triangles but without something else it looks like it just peters off into nothing.  I also went into EQ and tried adding a 3" print border outside the setting triangles without the inner border so that it made a wider uninterrupted print edge.  That looked good too, so I'm in another quandary.  

Why am I having so much trouble making up my mind recently?????
