Design Wall Monday

I finished the top for Emily's quilt but still need to think about what I'll use for backing.  I put this UFO back up on my Design Wall.  I started this in late 2012 without a pattern.  I made bear paw blocks and then made the chain blocks to match the same size.  Shortly after Judy L (Patchwork Times) started making a similar quilt.  I really wish I had made smaller blocks like hers!  I also really like her borders.  (See "New Beginnings.")

My quilt is an odd size.  70 x 98.  It's too narrow for the length.  I want to add some borders, but am not sure how to proceed.  Is it ok to have different sized borders on the sides vs the ends?  Maybe I should add to more rows and make it 98 x 98.  I'll have to think about that (and go measure a bed).

Bear Paw and Chain
I ran out of space on my Design Wall, so it's sideways.  I want the bear paws in the corners, and a few of the paw blocks aren't finished yet.

My FIRST Design Wall Monday!  Yahoo.  Here's hoping this helps me to get things done!  :-)

  1. Beautiful bear's paw blocks! It's your quilt, and no crime to have different sized borders :)
