Default i`m stumped on the corners ideas welcome!

I wanted to do a pieced border and use up all so no scraps.Yipee I did it but what do I do in the corners so I break up the rust color
was thinking this pp with the green and rust or too busy?

I think that pattern might be too busy, and not in keeping with the piecing pattern in the rest of the quilt. I would just go with a 4 patch (the green from the stop border and the rust) or a sawtooth star.

I think I would go with a simpler block. 4 patch, 9 patch, pinwheels, bear paw etc. Love the colors and pattern you have chosen.

Yes, I was thinking the same, maybe a 4 or 9 patch.

I would just continue the pattern you used in the border.

If you don't like that idea ... how about a square in a square?

I would just put a square of the blue print that was used in the quilt center.

I agree, something with simple lines and not small pieces. It's going to be a beautiful quilt.
