finally... binding time







- progress collage


















My Bear Paw quilt is finally done! I was really wanting this one to look vintage (as if you had pulled it from your grandmother’s closet) so I started out with a very pretty bundle of vintage blooms, "Posy" FQ's by Annabel Wrigley and I teamed them up with different neutral backgrounds. A real scrappy spin on a classic block!

I made 14.5” Bear Paw blocks set with 2.5” sashing strips & a wider border in several off white/greys. {The Fat Quarter Shop has a free pattern for the Bear Paw block}. For backing, I used the sweetest backing fabric 'head in the clouds' by Windham and my binding was a scrappy selection of leftover 'posy' fabrics.
I had it quilted by Leeanne from quiltmekiwi, and I chose an edge to edge Baptist Fan, super happy with the look. Finished quilt measures 56" x 56".
Until next time, Linda

    That is a wonderful finish. I always love the bear paw block. I think you have achieved your goal with the gorgeous fabrics you have selected. And the baptist fan quilting is perfect.

    I love your variations of the Bear Paw block. It is one of my favorite blocks and I can see another quilt in my future.....but I really should put the sashing between the brown/gold/green/blue blocks that I made a few months ago first. Yours is very vintage looking. I think that block looks great in any type of fabric.
