I like the Flying Geese suggestion and I think a black border will make it 'pop'.
|
Thanks Feline Fanatic for posting your quilt.....it is lovely and really gave me ideas for a panel I have!
|
A lot of great ideas for you! I also have panels that I'm going to be making quilts from, sowill be using some of these great suggestions!
|
Perhaps more fish and ducks/geese. I like what you've completed.

I am thinking you could Flying geese around what you have already (for the Canada goose block) or maybe maple leaf blocks because most hunters are avid outdoorsman. Log cabins always look nice or draft up some pine tree blocks. Maybe this quilt I built around a panel will give you some ideas:

I was thinking a very small border of the gray bark material or similar to it around the blocks you have already laid out. Then adding some of the suggestions the others have made. It is beautiful...I love the colors and what you have done!

I was thinking flying geese, too...I love the quilt with the trees around the center, too...also thought the idea of leaves sounded good.

The board also has a tutorial on them. http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...se-t43812.html Found the website for the chart. http://www.quiltersobsession.com/tec...se-p-5330.html |

I would bring in the dark green more. I like the idea of a Hunters star, you could add a bigger border with the dark green also. Very nice though.
Another idea would be making some squares on point for the next border. That might give you the extra width you are looking for. |
I made an outdoor quilt made similar to yours but with duck panels. I finished it with a piano key border using up fabric that went with the rest of the quilt and I did put a narrow border before it as a prior quilter suggested. I would attach a photo but I can't seem to get that to work. I'm sure whatever you decide will look fine.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=494792&stc=1I made my own pattern for cabin blocks with trees between them for the top and bottom of the panel., flying geese to the sides, then border. We've been using it for years. Hope picture down loaded okay as first time did it
