I hoisted this up as high as I could reach and stuck 3 pins in to hold it up there. The bottom is laying on the floor.
I got all of the strips for the border sewn on the quilt top. I left the ends unsewn on the top and bottom borders so I can add the corners. I originally thought I was going to put 4 patches there. Now I'm wondering if a square might look better.
I put the narrow strips of a black print on the right side to simulate the binding. It definitely doesn't look finished without the binding.
I had the iron on yesterday, pressing 2 large pieces for a backing, pressing the Bear Paw top, and pressing the strip sets that made the border strips on this quilt. I got another backing cut but will press it on another day.

Looks great! This one just sings. And maybe a half-square triangle in the corner? A plain square would also look just fine, of course.
Love how this top is coming together! It is perfectly busy!
Perhaps a little block like the ones where the bears' paws meet?
hh
it is looking good
Such a perfect border solution!
You did it again, a border that is one of a kind, this one is fun to look at in every direction.

Looking good! Methinks the same fabric (not a four patch) in all 4 corners might be perfect. Your thoughts?
Hugs!
Maybe one snowball corner pointing in? You could carry on the light/dark if you did it this way. Roxanne
I've been admiring the evolution of this design so much!
