Need opinions please of border block
#22
Seems like a lot of work for paw prints. I would suggest applique the paw prints of a cat...or maybe a mouse in the 4 corners with a plain border. If you wanted to stick with paper piecing, how about a paper pieced mice and cheese border?

Thanks everyone for your feedback. It's helped a lot. After sleeping on it and reading your ideas I've decided on two definite changes.... space the paw prints out more and add an inner border. Possibly change the background fabric too, but I think I'll keep the brown fabric for the tracks as I think I'm beginning to like that part of it. The person I'm making it for loves green and I'm trying to put as much green in it as I can.
Thanks again! When I get it all done I'll post another photo.
I knew you guys would have great ideas!
