The book "Border Workbook" has a cute mouse border that might work with these.

I think either one is great! But I would add a border of the background fabric before you add the final border. I think it would make the cats stand out more, rather than have them looking like they are pressed up against the border. (Although my cats DO like to be squished in a box!)

I love both the quilts, the first because I love cats and purple and the blue quilt because of the colors and pieced border. Greatjob.

I like the border on the blue, but the solid corner stones are bugging me. I think you should do a triangle in each corner stone so it connects them.

I agree about the cornerstones, but love the border otherwise! Good fabric choice in the first one, too!

Pollytink is right. The border on the blue is perfect. Both are just too cool. Nice work on the pink and I'm sure the blue will be great when you get to it. Thanks for sharing and I, too, would love to have the pattern.

Not sure if the blue/green border works with the cat design. Have you thought about a 4-patch?

Love both borders, but I think I'd applique a few paw prints around just to add a little interest and some color contrast.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I had several people ask for a PDF of the pattern and I do not have it currently. I will work getting it converted over the next couple days and post a link or send it out to anyone who is interested.

Your work is beautiful. I'd be very interest in getting the pattern. DD#2 is a cat lover and might really enjoy having a quilt like this.
