New Quilt Top Almost Finished

I put in a tremendous effort to finish the quilt top, but still need to put on the borders.  To get a general idea of what it will look like finished, I put it on the design wall and pinned the borders up.  It looks a little wonky in the photo, partially because I was standing on tip toe to pin the top section on, plus I think the inner section already stitched is a bit wider on the top than the bottom.  Will need to measure and do some squaring up as required.  Should be less than a day to get those borders on once measurements are taken.  Then the plan is it goes directly to quilting on the longarm.  I believe I have enough red to use as the back plus I have one block left that I may incorporate on the back!  My first project when I return from South Carolina on April 7.

This is definitely a more modern improv type top than I normally do.  I like it, but don’t see myself going modern/abstract more than infrequently – LOL!  Looking for a name for this quilt.  Any ideas?  Let me know in the comment section!
