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/ |

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.

Your quilt is absolutely adorable. I would sew the two borders together and miter together as suggested. I think you should run the stone walls with the quilt and have the feet facing in. JMHO

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