Partial border......................


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?

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!
