If you look closely at the border on the top right, it's a fan stitch. I used a different fan stitch on the bottom left corner. This offers a bit of visual repetition without being redundant.
I'll have time to work on this some more later but for now, I'll leave you with pages 14 & 15 of my vintage needlework catalog:
