You didn't say what size this quilt turned out to be, but if it is already large two or more borders may make it larger than you want it to be. I think I would opt for a 2-inch border in a read as solid color that matches a color in the quilt, black if you like black with it, dark blue, or a red as it looks like there are a number of reds in the quilt. That turned out beautifully! Teresa

Now with their faces on, I can see how the little square above the bow-tie makes up the bear's muzzle. Awfully cute! Another pattern to add to the to-do list! I had doubts about using a dark border when you first mentioned it, but it looks perfect with the bears and the other dark squares and triangles. A great job!

Your quilt looks great Red! I really like the gold border. I didn't think I could use gold on mine (well and I had red so red it was!!) After some marathon sewing I just finished it! I figured I better do it or it just would never happen. Thanks Red for hosting the swap and thanks to everyone who made the blocks :) Isamae
