OK, I've slept on it, and my idea is definitely not going to work. Well, it may work, but it won't look good. Back to the drawing board. I think that what is needed is a very plain border to set off JoeAnn's incredible work, so plain it will be. I just looked and noticed that I had the PERFECT material to make a kaleidoscope border like you did for mine, but there's no time, and like I said, I think simple is the way to go. So now I have 16 orphan blocks to make into a DQ. Sigh.

Well, I still like the idea, but it just won't work next to JoeAnn's border. And the more I look at it, the more I think that I was just stuck in the mindset of not wanting to do a "simple" border, when that is really what it needs at this point. Maybe my idea would have worked if I had used a different background, but I didn't, so....
My original idea was that your bear paws looked like birds, so I would make little ones that swooped around the edges carrying ribbon in their "beaks" that would make heart designs. Here is one I did to test the idea. I have different colors of bias tape, but the green is what I grabbed for the test block. But it just doesn't look good next to JoeAnn's border. However, I think I have a great print that would look good as a simple border. My little brain is working......
