Felted Bag Dilemma
So I am working on this felted bag with leftover lopi. (The pattern is based on Brown Bag in Knitty.) I figured I had enough light blue left to knit the bottom in the medium blue, the top in the light blue, and the part that folds down in the medium blue. I figured wrong. I have a little more medium blue, and then the darker blue and grey that are in the photo (oh and white and black, but I figured it would be one of these colours.) What I am thinking is if I knit a band with a design in it now, then it doesn't look like just a random stripe but something planned. I was going to put some flowers or snowflakes on the flap part anyway, so maybe I will do a band of those and then some on the flap.
So.Do I knit the rest of the body of the bag in the medium blue (with some kind of design on it), and then the flap part in maybe the darker blue? Or would the grey look better? Or any other ideas?

It's a difficult question and I am simply all out of ideas this morning... sorry! But it's a nice pattern :-)
My idea is: to rip back (uhhh, I mean "rekja upp") maybe five rounds of the light blue, if you haven't got more left of it, and use it in a pattern border, along with the light blue, maybe and the dark blue as a base colour. It would probably make a better flow of the colours, you know, to connect various parts. Then you might have something left for the flap as well, or not. You could also add the grey one (or white) in the pattern border along with the light blue and then add some stripes of grey later if you have to.
