Amidst all the gardening and knitting, I'm trying to carve out time to work on my bear paw quilt.
Last week, I got all the pieces for the paws cut out
I did it up at Mom's because she has all the fancy tools to make the cutting go quicker.
Then I brought them home, and have been slowly piecing them together.
It's going well so far. The squares are quite large (about nine inches) because I have a very short attention span. The quicker the quilt grows, the better.
I got two paws out of each fat quarter (with a little bit of fabric left over) so I've got 12 paws to sew. I'm trying to sew two each night. Once they are done, I'll figure out how I want to put them all together, and search out some more coordinating fabric.
With any luck, I can finish this one in time for winter!

Looking great!
I really like your choice of fabric. It will be lovely to have a quilt for winter.
It's going to be so....hmmm. Pretty is not the right word. Handsome?
You can do it! Love the first block!
I don't think I've ever seen a bear paw pattern before. That's really neat. Love the fabric you chose too. It will be fun watching this one come together.
Looking good, I need to pull my quilt out of the drawer too, wish I'd gone for big blocks.
