If all the bunnies in the body of the quilt are "up and down" - I would have the bunnies in the border going in the same direction.
I would not miter any of the corners - but would put some kind of cornerstone in the corners/

My only issue with standing all the bunnies "up and down" in the border is that on the sides the stone wall lines will be running against the quilt, instead of running with it like the top and bottom. I don't know if I like how that looks. But I don't know if I like the bunnies standing all different directions if I face their feet in either. Easiest solution would be just not to use this fabric, but the whole reason I made this quilt was for this fabric.

Well, if I may be so bold to say I would not use that dark fabric as anything on the front--border or not. It seems to take away from the softness of those baby colors. I would, however, make the entire backing with it thus not having a standing problem and it coordinates with the center fuzzy cut fabrics within the blocks. Good Luck. Be sure to post a finished product for us to see.

So problem solved on which way to face the bunnies! :) Now I just need to figure out what I'll do for borders.....
