I bought this book called the New Carolingian Modelbook many moons ago. I was sitting around lamenting that I had the book forever and have only stitched one thing from it. I was fawning over the book and said to myself, Why don't you just make yourself a sampler? So that is what I did. (With the exception of 2 designs I found for free on the internet.) Here are my results:

My question is, I have several inches on the bottom should I put another band or write something(the book has a few alphabets in it, but they are for a fill in stitch, not a Spanish stitch like the rest of the piece), or just leave it as is? My husband thought I should put a border around the whole thing, but since the whole thing is basically borders I didn't like that idea.
I have no idea what I'm going to do with it when I'm finished, I just stitched it up for the sake of stitching.
Any advice and suggestions are greatly appreciated. I've been staring at this thing for 2 weeks and am stumped.
