Adding a border after the fact - Desert Sunset 1

DS1 under inspection

I showed my "Desert Sunset 1" to my friend Janet and she said, "is there any way you can add a border to it?". So, although it is not the normal way I like to do things, I attached some batting strips to each side, added some additional backing fabric, put on a yellow flange, and then sewed on some black print fabric for the border. I am going to paint the border with oil paint stick just a bit to finish it.  Then I will square it up and "face" the edges.  I think my friend was right, it does look better this way.

The first photo to the right shows my cat inspecting my work. The second photo is after passing inspection.
