Its me again. I suggest using an I Spy pattern with kind of a woven frame around the pictures. I scanned the picture of the pattern and will attach it to this note. Just something a little bit different.

I vote for log cabins and bear paws! Love your fabic choice.
looking forward to seeing it finished!

I agree with Attic Windows....beautiful colors too!

Those are all nice ideas.

My thought was do your tan embroidered squares as snowballs, and alternate with patchwork squares that coordinate with the angle of the corner snowball patch. A churn dash, calico puzzle, ribbon quilt, shoofly.

Neat border, Jan. I'll have to keep this idea in mind.
Would work great for this quilt as it fits right in with the theme.
