I have had some time to think about how best to work these adorable prints and decided to keep it simple and make a feature of the polar bears by careful fabric placement. The polar bears are so delightful ~ I love them!
A solid red binding seemed like a great way to frame this quilt and matches perfectly with the splashes of red in the quilt. I have used Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton in Rich Red for binding fabric.
Rather than using the standard RPQ white background fabric this time I have chosen a solid grey fabric for contrast. The grey background fabric is Freespirit Designer Solids in Nugray.
I have used up some of the leftover fabric scraps to piece a patchwork panel and add some interest to the back of the quilt. Fussy cutting fabric can otherwise be very wasteful of fabric and what better way to use these scraps than for piecing a quilt back?
